I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

This is awesome and ethically laudable. Research on artificial locomotion will go a long way towards helping the disabled and producing search and rescue machines that can save a lot of lives.

Wait, I forgot, nerds need to have some kind of Terminator freakout, right

that is amazing stuff, we definitely seem to be heading quickly into a robotic age (hopefully more like Asimov's I-Robot than terminator) perhaps 10-20 years ish? before we see serious use in military and large corporate usage

Heh, I read the thread title as DERP at first glance. But yeah, that is pretty cool what they've got. I can see it being the predecessor of cave rescue/exploration robots.

They've also set up a Virtual Robotics Challenge for any coders that want to take a stab at AI.

Hang on... a robot ninja? I'm reminded of an episode of Transformers - better hope this stays out of the hands of evil robots from another planet. :p

One time at darpa:

"We finished our Ninja robot!"
"No, it's not finished yet!"
"What you mean? Not finished? It can walk right?"
"Yeah but without blue pulsing magic LEDs it will never work!!!"

I think this demonstrates quite well how technology can be a double-edged sword, being either beneficial or harmful depending on how it is used.
