Please tell I'm not the only one who was freaked out watching that... the way it moves, something about it scares me

Allow me to take some of the fear away gentlemen, and ladies.



Still, these are honestly amazing advances.

Next up: Box Guards from Dues Ex: Human Revolution.

HOUNDS from Chromehounds.

Lazy people getting even lazier.

While this is very impressive, there's a LOT to do before this is combat ready. Or even remotely useful. But still, kudos to the designers and engineers for getting this far. You guys are amazing.

Now please tell me this is three laws compliant.

Actually, I don't think its walk is creepy at all. I think it's kind of chipper and charming. It sort of bounces along like its happy to be here. Its sort of adorable actually! Now paint it white and give it the voice of Wheatley from Portal 2 and it'll be the most darling piece of hardware on the market! I'll get one for my trips to walmart!

Man every time I see this thing it just creeps me out. I really have a feeling that DARPA wants this thing to be as intimidating as humanly possible. They are in the business of destroying humans (and humanity) so I guess it makes sense. I bet they've already got a version strapped with automatic weaponry, they just likely aren't showing that to the public...yet.

Rad. Though, to be honest, I'd rather a universal focus on powered exoskeletons. If we can get one country with an army of Iron Men, then that country can get to owning the entire world, which is a step to (Besides a very scary future) peace. Then we can finally get to space proper.

I don't want to die before we get to Mars.

So, all we need to do now is make one a couple hundred tons bigger, add giant guns to it, and a pilot seat, and we'll finally have our own Mechwarrior! I want a Timberwolf, please.

Lazy people invented the wheel.

But yeah, I'm psyched. I want full-on robots before I die. Especially if you can get self-defence bots that know kung-fu and have hidden weapons in case someone burglarizes your home.

Elemental first, you gotta have a stepping stone to get up to the good mechs ;)
Anyways, this thing is utterly terrifying, seeing fully natural movements on something completely unnatural...

I keep thinking about MGS4 when I see those 2. Pretty ingenious robots, I say.
