Well, that just makes me think of tiny, flying kill-bots darting around my house.
Thanks, University of Pensylvania, for birthing the stuff of my nightmares.

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Tomorrow night, it creeps up the stairs in your nightmares with a knife in its teeth.

Hmm. That's pretty good. Its just...
What do you have in a thirty story mechanical monster, with free-way on-ramps for arms, and a heart as black as coal?

Now that's more like it.

Petman looks like he is off to do some errands.
And he is. He's setting out to sneak into old people's houses so he can scisor-kick their heads off.

Re: I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords!
From the moment this video started with a robot barreling out of the forest like a remnant of some half-remembered LSD fueled nightmare, i knew that BEAR needed to be on this list.
Why do they show this robot participating in such reckless destruction? Do they have to lord it over us that their new murder machine can break into your house, hit you with metal cylanders, drag your corpse out to the garage then steal your car?
There will be no hiding in sewer tunnels, shipping containers, or up ramps. He can turn the door-knob, but why should he when he can pummel his way through the door like it was the banner at a pep rally?
They show him curling 45 pound plates, wielding heavy club-like objects (in one case what appears to be a tank shell) and karate-chopping a block of wood! What's more, later in the video they demonstrate that BEAR (which can only stand for Better Eradication, through Artificial Reapers) is completely impervious to our meaty, feeble, muscle-driven punches and shoves.
So beware, all ye techno-lovers. BEAR waits in the night. He will charge through your door wielding mallets of tungston and a heart swollen with binary hate.
There is a new order, now, and it will be enforced by merciless mechanical actuators and hydraulic press assemblies. Quiver, you gellatenous meat sacks! BEAR has come!
BEAR SN 001: What do you want to do today, Kill all Humans?
BEAR SN 002: Sure, what will we do after lunch?

The pimp hand is strong in this one.
Here we see how robots of the future will be able to paddle our asses with a thousand bitch smacks at near sonic speed and we will bounce off of the table like ping pong balls. Also, it is no use trying to zig and zag. Evasive manuevers cannot shake the steely gaze of our future robot overlords.

Re: I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords!
And now, perhaps the best quote i have ever read.
But don't worry, it is all in the name of good science.
This should rightfully bring up a number of questions in your mind. Why are they teaching robots karate? If a modern robot can already beat up 6 men by itself, what hope is there for our children once the AI singularity takes over and the next generation are designed, not by feeble grey meat, but indominable calculating machines with diamond hard hearts and cold intellects incapable of mercy?By teaching a robot where the human threshold for pain is, we can teach the robot when to stop punching.
......
Not surprisingly, Prof Povse was able to drive the punchy robot to the point where it delivered significant tissue damage
But don't worry, it is all in the name of good science.
