bouncer Posted February 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) I just love anything to do with robots!!!!!!!!! I think this is the only way forwards for now.. sending robots on missions that will cost too much to send humans for., Think about it, robots have no requirements for water/food/oxygen...so less space and weight needed on spacecraft that have humans in The Japanese went into space, and then basically stated they will send a humanoid robot to the moon by 2015 read here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/japan-sending-humanoid-robot-to-the-moon-by-2015/ I mean just look how far their number 1 commercial robot ASIMO has come Then we have the US militarys robot 'soldier'...imagine that on the dunes of mars...(plus at the near ending of the vid it jumps high like a horse)! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu2IXk5Jbag Humans may have taken one great leap, but I think its the robots who will take greater and further strides...

Space Commander Travis Posted February 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2012 That four legged thing's cute. It can dance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncer Posted February 13, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted February 13, 2012 That four legged thing's cute. It can dance! yeh but just imagine a few years down the line when its disguised as a camel or some other creature and sent to spy/or fight wars for the US!! The future could be creepy! At least the Japanese did the first 2 legged humanoid and are going to send it to the moon!! Mars exploration would be entirely different if not restricted to rovers who move just meters per day over flat terrain... these things can climb!!

Great post Bouncer! and all very pertinent! I would like to see the look on ETs face when ASIMO and his pooch come sidling towards them on Kepler-20e! Cheers.

Its just a matter of time!! (cant wait) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after a hard days planet exploring, the robots can relax with some music and dancing....(amazing vid) mind you....after a few drinks the fights often begin...so they build the first working terminator to deal with it...just for fun... to start... as seen...fighting robots.. here: http://www.wimp.com/japaneserobots/ hehehe....
