Here's something...
The US military is designing robotic teddy bears that can run into a battle and extract wounded soldiers. They said that they gave the robot a teddy bear face so as to calm and reassure the wounded.
To me it seems like if they can make robots sophisticated enough to walk into battle, identify wounded soldiers, pick them up and run back to safety, than they should probably be able to make robots that could just do the fighting for us.
Maybe the defense department should talk to Michael Jackson.

I’ve been wondering how long it would take for this to happen.
I had heard, quite some time ago, that Tesla’s experiments weren’t just about transmitting electric power through the air, but also about harnessing electric power from the atmosphere itself. That would obviously be a much greater achievement, but this is pretty cool too.

I'd like to get a bear-bot just to take me around the town.
Oh, and WIRELESS ELECTRICITY?! Hardly worth commenting on, my friend. Big whoop!
If MJ makes that awesome robot I will make my first trip to that desert town just to see it.
I hope it's just fully automatic and allowed to roam the desert freely, dancing and destroying as it pleases.
