My quick wits were a little slow on this highly disturbing video from last year, thanks to reader Dtruck for bringing it to our attention!
Apparently the Dutch have put C3PO to shame with this new development – a robot who actually walks with the GAIT of a real human! Apparently, human walking is “really very similar to falling forward in a controlled fashion,” researchers at TU Delft in The Netherlands explained. So they’ve brought that concept to little boy Flame. BUT we at TRED want to know, how soon until we’re ENGULFED in these little Flames?
More importantly, what is their directive? Good or Evil?
(Although I suppose they should make them with arms, if they really want to scare us.)

So, we have those that walk, those that talk, those that can work with their hands (manafacturing assembly)…
It’s pretty amazing, and I’m curious to know what technological advancements are out there in the field of robotics that we’re not really concious of.
I don’t know whether to be impresses of horrified!
