Combine that with Google's efforts for artificial intelligence to control their smart search and we have a perfect recipe for skynet. Anyone know where John Connor is?

Horrible thought: Flying robot drones backed by Google's smart results AI.  It would be light gnats whispering wikipedia text in your ear.

Couldn't they get those robot worms to crawl into your ear ala Babelfish? Who has that AltaVista patent now? ;)

I think these walking robots are amazing!  However, while it is amazing, are they really better then a caterpillar tracked machine?

The sound is certainly more scary, which could mean quite a lot when you are heading towards an enemy.

They will arm and armor those, if they havent already. These are like ground drones.

yeah. tracks lose contact with the ground in uneven terrain.  This thing is a mule for going straight up slick slopes that a cat tracked vehicle would definitely spin on.

I remember an X-Files back in the mid 1990's that talked about this idea.  Really interesting...

So what we have here is a cockroach with a microchip strapped to its back.

...

 The cockroaches have been turned into biobots -- which is kind of a halfway point between a regular organism and a robot -- all for the purpose of saving human lives.

The cockroaches are steered remotely through those sensors that are surgically implanted near their antennae.

For some reason I find this more disconcerting than actual robots doing the same sort of thing.

Littleman:  I kind of agree.  It is the "merging" of actual life and robotics.
