Once again, the freaks of DARPA are in the process of making everybody in the universe shudder, by creating a large cheetah robot that will (according to them) "...gallop(ing) to the rescue and build(ing) a brave new future in the fields of emergency response, firefighting, advanced agriculture and vehicular travel.”
Or it will become sentient, attack the human race and devour us all...one by one.
And even scarier than the robotic cheetah?
Take a gander at it's headless master that would make Arnold Schwarzenegger proud:
So, this is what we can expect in the future, headless 'bots roaming the streets with their cheetah 'bots searching out wayward humans to murder.
Great, I'm so happy.
Why can't DARPA make something a bit more subdued? Like, how about a small robot bunny that eats trash and converts it to bio fuel to fill up my car? Or, a robot mirror that consistently tells me that I'm looking particularly thin today even though we both know that's a lie?
These are things I can get behind.
Not something with huge jaws that will rescue me from a fire only to crush me with it's hydraulic jaws while it's master kicks my lifeless body to verify I'm dead so that I can't possibly give birth to the man that will save the human race.
God, I need a drink.
