this is so awesome!
-
What is the muscle material?
-
Strings for multifilament musles, hard plastic for bones.
Do they need artifical blood too? what will they use? -
spooky
-
Westworld!
-
Very elegant r&d ; this is definitely the way to go to develop sophisticated fine control. You're on a winner.
-
The latest weapon in our efforts in the Skeleton War of 2016
-
This is unnecessarily complicated.
-
where do you put the penis?
-
"Hi, I will introduce myself"
Flexes biceps -
Goddamned Institute propaganda.
Seriously, though, this is cool as hell! I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE! -
Need to put my brain in one of these quick before I die.

That's nice, but realistically speaking, with 3D printing of organs being a thing on the growth, it's a bit pointless. The moment the 3D tech will be researched and brought to a T within safety norms, we already have the know-how to 'install" those in the recipient body. Frankly, at this point, with the exception of the brain, because of dumb, stupid, and idiotic "morals" we've figured out a lot of the human body in terms of mechanics and functionality, it's not out of this world that within the next 50 70 years we're going to see fully grown bodies or body parts replacing older or damaged ones.

Whenver that robot talks I immediately picture him making repetitive gibberish noises like a Banjo-Kazooie character.
-
robot is not a toy. robot is support the human
-
Spooky scary skeletons
-
This has the potential to be a billion times better than hydraulic articulation.
-
This made me think of Papyrus! Nyah Heh Heh!
-
thank mr skeltal
-
Finally a robot with good bones and calcium.
