Its a bit creepy....especialy when you think of how fast this field of inovation is advancing.

I think when they get pushed over or trolled, their eyes should glow red.

Give the scientists 20 more years and engineers could then build an Atlas Chassis out of it if that is what mankind wants.

This is how the robot rebellion begins.

Seriously cool, but still not practical. Artificial Intelligence would be required to develop for them to be ideal in any capacity other than for lifting jobs and heavy working.

Mechs don't really need A.I. because they are controlled by Mechwarriors. Computing in Battletech Battlemechs could be done today in terms of control, diagnostics or sensory. Leg or arm/hand coordination, a computer controlling a humanoid body is the thing we are missing right now, but Video showed major progress on that.

And we are far away from developing a real A.I.. No program ever passed the Turing-Test yet not even talking about real A.I.

(Battle)Mechs in 20 years possible to build? probably yes. Practical? I doubt. Giant intelligent robots? Sci-Fi for a long time.

I was just reading the comments on several robot youtube videos and came to the conclusion that a alot of people have symphaty and empathy with machines that act and look like human.. Talking about robot rights programs ALREDY.

Seriously! I respect their opinion but at the same time they really DO have some screws loose. Robots are machines, no matter the amount of human like behaviour they will still be. I put them in the same bucket as those who have sorrowful nostalgia and symphaty about Pluto who once were a planet but out of tried and tested science got reclassified as a dwarf planet among other stellar objects.

Some people dont give damn about logic or and science, its worrying.

ANYWAY. Robots are cool and all, but I rather want to see these



metal bad boys get some real hydralic legs some time in the future.

First competition


seems to be analog vs digital, pacific rim anyone,

then they hopefully will enter social services and military. I believe in those folks.

Remember they once said that humans would never be able to fly, what do they have to say now.. Everything is possible!

Yet could minerals and metal evolve to the point of sentience and intelligence? Only then, if such is possible I could understand that no matter of which compund and matter thinking machines (organic or not) are made of they are equal. I think everything is possible but even there I put on the handbrake.
