BEAR Robot Designed To Rescue Wounded Soldiers

Zothecula writes "The US Army is currently testing a robot designed to locate, lift, and carry wounded soldiers out of harm's way without risking additional lives. With feedback from its on-board sensors and cameras, the Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot (BEAR) can be remotely controlled through the use of a special M-4 rifle grip controller or by hand gestures using an AnthroTronix iGlove motion glove. This equipment would allow a soldier to direct BEAR to a wounded soldier and transport them to safety where they can be assessed by a combat medic."

and so the first thing the robot can say will be:

"What is the number of your life insurance policy?"

Scary.

I'm on the battlefield, wounded, afraid and possibly delerious, and up rolls the bastard offspring of Wall-E and pedobear? [gizmag.com]

Airports...

My first thought at seeing the picture was that this was some new TSA insult.

Re:So why not...

[MichaelSmith]

No doubt both sides would outsource BEAR remote control to the same big company on the outskirts of Mumbai...
