Just thought I'd share something I ran into today....

Was working in an office building this morning, looked out the window and saw some weird robot testing going on in the parking lot across the street. Looked like a headless human marching, up and down a little grass hill. Did some searching and found what I saw was just a small peice of what they do. I found it a little strange that this company was just bought by google, after they supplied test robots to the gov't.

Well they aren't going to sneak up on anything....

Remember "I, Robot"?

Google has been buying every robotics company they can make an offer on.

That thing would catch me in a moment, I can´t run when I´m rolling on the floor laughing...

Just the opposite it could never catch me . Because in order for it to move it has to have traction, and I'm going to be leaving some slick stuff behind me and maybe just a slight bit aromatic.

I wonder if it's smart enough to jump over a wire? Sounds like my model airplane at full throttle. I wouldn't worry too much, until they start building terminators.

well if they make em run on chainsaw engines, they will self destruct with the ethanol based gas that the govnmt will require that they use so as not to pollute the environment, plus give em some rough terrain and they will be stumbling around like a drunk on Saturday night.

What if you tipped it over??? Like a cow?

Actually, they are quite agile.

The one I saw being tested the other day was running on something other then a chainsaw, it was almost completely silent.

If they use Stihl engines, they'll never get them started.....

I don't know why Futurama popped into my head when I read that. In the one show the emissions from the robots (that run on alcohol) are causing global warming so they banish the robots to a moon or asteroid or something.
