HRex – the unstoppable robot that’s also cute November 25, 2007

Posted by Al in : fighting,robots,weird , trackback

Since this robot is being designed for military applications it should be terrifying; particularly as it is virtually unstoppable. Instead, through its mad scrambling legs, its accident prone progress and its somehow pet-like appearance, it is cute instead of aggressive. However, I’m certain that if it was equipped with a weapon, or even just with a bomb, then it would be something that you’d want to get away from as quickly as you could. Read more here, and definitely watch the video.
