@LuminousPath13 would you do better as a student in a master thesis project 10 years ago?

I like the terminator music... i harsh reminder that the machines will get us no matter where we go. provided that we only move along completely flat surfaces really slowly.

Seriously though, its pretty cool.

[0adireita]

WOW! it can climb! we could use it to... uhm....clean windows?

[mattjeffrey]

@0adireita A robot that could be used to clean the windows of sky scrapers? you're implying that this wouldn't be a profitable venture?...... if you invented that, and marketed it... you could dominate an industry that is pretty lucrative.

[0adireita]

@mattjeffrey imagine how much it would cost! yeah..but now that you said it....my comment sounds really dumb XD

OMG! Lego spies!

Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems. It is the beginning of the bigger industry in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.

aprox every few years some idiot comes out with a statement like that and it never has any realistic potential of becoming truth. And its just a fact, analog and digital arent compatible/comparable, thank you very much.

[chickencowman]

Couldn't exactly be used for stealth missions, could it?

[Damico07]

@chickencowman give them a few years and they will have it down.... lol

[TurfX]

I'm not sure of the practicality behind this, most surfaces are not smooth enough to suction to

[guardcorp]

sky scrapers

[Warunho]

such a tardy robot to be honest

[joshhsoj1902]

cool!

[AirmanCylon401]

When geckos and typewriters mate

[MakefunNotwar]

too bad it takes about 3 weeks for it to climb one small vertical wall :/ cool design tho.

[DaJaeff]

so just screw the whole idea cause one of the very first prototypes that was still in development didnt come up with the very final soltion?
