Robot designed with full humanoid skeletal structure....

* Dekker starts hoarding rations and stockpiling HME primary charges, black balaclavas, anti-material rounds, googles any likely military supercomputer contractors, removes name from phonebook for good measure.

I'm taking no facking chances.

[redsniper]

It's a FRAKKING CYLON!

[Flipside]

Heh, the single eye certainly does give that image to it But the skeletal structure itself definitely made me think of Terminators first and Cylons second.

CCCCCCCYYYYYYYBRRRRRIDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSS

[Colonol Dekker]

Facking geth looking facker.




Cybrids, i fear and respect.

The anthropomimetic robot, which has joints, bones, muscles and tendons will, according to Professor Owen Holland from the University of Sussex, bring us closer to true artificial intelligence.

Wait wait wait.

What? How does that even...?

*watches video*

Okay. "Physical form shapes thought." I can buy that.

Stupid journalists and their misleading phrasing of things.

[Angelus]

Soon ( as in DNF soon ^TM ), we'll be able to create Cylons.
And then it's only a small step to create skinjobs.

[SpardaSon21]

Geth>Cylons.

[StarSlayer]

I think the quadrotors/manhacks, cheetah bots and transforming sphere stalker have more potential for human annihilation.

[Angelus]

Geth>Cylons.

uh, no.

[BloodEagle]

No love for AMEE?

[Unknown Target]

Is it just me or does it seem like the video got cut off?

Still cool, nevertheless.

[deathfun]

Very cool indeed
*prepares miniature EMP device*

[QuantumDelta]

Geth>Cylons.

uh, no.

Uh, yes.

SHHHH don't tell them that! 

[Mikes]

As he said "ohhh ohh it's squeezing back... "

... was anyone else thinking "no no, let go! not my arm! aaarAAAARGH!!" would be next? LOL.

I don't know, the creepiest thing to me is the eye with the automatic aperture control. That looked more like the one in Terminator 1 than anything else. This has something to do with both the uncanny valley and what we first see from a photograph of a person, that's usually the eyes.

[z64555]

That's possibly the easiest control subsystem the thing has, just do some image processing on the retinal camera to determine the average brightness across pixels. Plug the brightness value into a PID or FLC algorithm, and then convert the output to a servo signal that controls the aperture.
