Lightbulb US developing robotic soldiers straight out of your imagination

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Reminds me of some sci-fi and cartoons I've seen, and I say that with admiration.

The weapons of the future. I've always wondered what our most advanced piece of technology is. Something akin to Metal Gear?

I'd say it's the F-22. If you actually read about all the things that's gone into it, it's amazing.

Wow. That’s just amazing. Can’t wait until it’s portable. The full body coverings they showed were awesome too. Someday, it will look like this:

I've actually heard that there is a guy working to make an exoskeleton based on the Master Chief's armor in the Halo series.

I mean that we don't know about. Of course the F-22 is probably the most advanced plane to date, but there is obviously something that the gov't isn't showing us that they have. A device of some kind. Maybe its just me being paranoid.

That kinda happened to me too. Though we are too far off in robotic sight technology. It’s to hard for a robot to understand what it sees at the present time. (learned in psychology class)


HAHAHA ... 1997...
