The most effective thing to get me off my ass and studying is to see something I should conceivably be able to create, but have no idea where I'd begin. Can someone link to a good introduction to how the control systems for something like this work?
Is it just me or does that thing look like a headcrab: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/54/Headcrab.jpg
Its been said before, but needs to be repeated every time: The implications of this line of R&D are horrific. Removing the risk of say, US soldier casualties, combined with media control, and with "merely" the current level of inhumanity of political leadership, would be a very ugly mix indeed. So yeah, its hard for me to get excited about the tech in this case.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The key word being "apparently".
I don't even think it's that apparent. It takes us 2 years to learn to walk, even with millions upon millions of years of evolution designing us perfectly to do it.
Birds can walk on two legs in very little time.
