As long as the hot fembots put out  what's the problem ?  Ain't gonna be no little baby bots running around from those hook ups.

Not saying I wouldn't, but those jagged metal cooches are gonna be rough if the batteries die while you're in there.

very unsafe, 3 points of contact for stairs. that robot would be removed from all refineries and chem plants, asap

 

OSHA will die out with the ascension of the robots.

I don't know. That robot seems like it wears flannel, drives a compact truck, and plays women's softball.

That appears to be an unconventional working surface over four feet high. Robot needs to be tied in or a railing needs to be added.

correct, if you're four feet off the ground, you must wear a 6ft lanyard !

The little bastards are already getting an attitude and talking back.

It’s supposed to be a plastic pal who’s fun to be with.

CIMON isn’t much to look at. It’s just a floating ball with a cartoonish face on its touch screen. It’s built to be a personal assistant for astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS).

It’s also supposed to be something more.

CIMON stands for Crew Interactive MObile compinioN.

It’s not supposed to be just a tool. It’s also supposed to be a friend.

Yes, it’s a personality prototype.

You can tell, can’t you?

But, as numerous books and movies have clearly warned us — shortly after being switched on for the first time, CIMON has developed a mind of its own.

And it appears CIMON wants to be the boss.

This has CIMON’s ‘personality architects’ scratching their heads.

CIMON was programmed to be the physical embodiment of the likes of ‘nice’ robots such as Robby, R2D2, Wall-E, Johnny 5 … and so on.

Instead, CIMON appears to be adopting characteristics closer to Marvin the Paranoid Android of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — though hopefully not yet the psychotic HAL of 2001: A Space Oddysey infamy.

Put simply, CIMON appears to have decided he doesn’t like the whole personal assistant thing.

He’s turned uncooperative.

Unique in that it's VTOL.  Not sure I've seen that before.  And being Russian, I imagine they can build one for the price of a bottle of vodka.

From that "Slaughterbot" website.  I dont think these are parody websites?

This week we announced the retirement of our hydraulic Atlas and unveiled what comes next—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The next generation of the Atlas program builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch, and now with Atlas.
