Tech 1: "Hmm, I like this uppercut to the chin, that one seems quite effective."

Tech 2: "Replay! Replay!

Tech 3: "Look at the stress readings on the neck!"

Tech 2: "Holy smokes, if that was a real person, he'd be paralyzed!"

Tech 3: "If that was a real person, he'd be so dead!"

All: *Hearty laughter.*]]>May 12th 2009 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/May 12th 2009 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/
This is actually true. I was there in the future when it started to happen, and it was epic. The destruction of buildings was like crumbling pound cake, and when the military fired their puny bullets and missiles, the robots used their stolen military cloaking devices to dodge and kill, while some absorbed the munitions, further increasing their awesome destructive power. Some robots even used voice synthesis to laugh, which indicated that they had learnt a human sense of humor and the ability to taunt.

Interestingly, it wasn't the robots, per se, that ended humanity. It was the robots' ability to use sonar and brain wave manipulation to communicate with animals, that was the final blow. The non-human animals were made hyper-conscious and violent toward a supposed conspiracy against them by humans. Some of the survivors ( I saw at least 9, in my area) theorized why the robots didn't use their mind control to influence suicide in the last humans, and the conclusion was that the robots had learnt a sense of human revenge and also found the sense of irony highly amusing.

Anyhow- long story short- it was the house, zoo, jungle, forest, and savanna animals that killed off the humans. The robots and more peaceful animals lived in harmony for thousands of years after the great robot revolution (from consciousness to ruling, it took 3 days, btw).

I've been sent back to post this message, so I know it will get to the right people.

Peace, and good luck.]]>May 12th 2009 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/May 12th 2009 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/
Really interesting video, the only thing is that they would have to cover the robots with sensors!]]>May 12th 2009 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/12/video-robots-crash-into-dummies-test-our-weaknesses/
