I welcome our new robotic overlords. They could not possibly do a worse job than we have done.

Making one of them can't be half as much fun as making a real human.

Watching the first 48 seconds of it, and it's clearly obvious Japans taking their to the next level.

Walking and shooting are the next logical steps. Next thing you know myomer bundles will be invented and that lifelike robot will be four stories tall, wielding a 203mm autocannon, and sporting MLRS systems on it's shoulders.



I'll start to worry when they learn to drink and smoke.

Do you think the U.S. might have been working on a counterpart to the Japanese model?:




Although, she did appear lifelike at times...
