    Take a look at this!

    :eeek: at the mobile phone-chucking at the end.

    That's awesome. I'm beginning to worry about the robot uprising!

    We'll be dead before we even know they're plotting against us!

    Was sent this last night and all thoughts I had about this was just fear. If you take the phone throwing and catching at the end, who can actually catch a phone in their fingers that easily?
    I do have to say though I did find the camera tracking quite amusing as it was jittering about.

    I suppose though we will have to see what happen in future for any uprising but I guess that we wont be here by then.

    Don't you believe it. It's even odds at the moment which will happen first - the zombie invasion or the robot uprising - but both are closer than you think.

    It pays to be vigilant.

    Impressive as that is (and it is) its one thing having that working in a lab, its entirely different getting it to work in the real world.

    Cool video though

    oh yeah, I'm sure there's still a ton of progress to be made in getting this kind of thing into mainstream production. I just find it kinda jaw-dropping to see the cutting edge of modern technological research like this sometimes. :)

    Then the zombies would be in for stiff competition - they can't really damage a metal being.

    For some reason the movements(at least the bit with the tweezers) remind anyone else of Wall-e?
