Seminal Sci-fi author William Gibson retweeted the link to the following video and the comments of @twiliteminotaur: “Creepy-cool in that old Gigerian sense of cyberpunk. Terminator’s in the anatomical details.” Fellow fan and skeptic of all things robotic, Lisa Smith, wondered why they’d go to such lengths to make the robot so human-like in function and construction when having a variety of anatomical structures would be more in keeping with the variety of requirements we’d need from future robots. Of course, the answer is that the more human-like they are the more likely we’ll accept these robots into our lives. And an added benefit is that all one would need would be a hot-glue gun to melt the robot’s skeletal system. Take that future robotic over-lords!
