A Human-Extracting Rescue Robot - Neatorama

A rescue robot that picks up victims and takes them inside of itself. What could possibly go wrong?

The Robocue is operated by the Tokyo Fire Department and used to extract people from areas where rescue workers can't go safely. It then uses pincers to pull a person on to a conveyor belt and inside its protective walls. Video at the link.

Robocop went a little too far with a female bobcat, you know, the little forklift machine things. Now they have this cybertronic abomination to take care of.

The Gandhi one is cute, but I wouldn't have guessed it was Ganhdi. I think a spinning wheel would have been more appropriate than the staff, which could call to mind Moses, Brigham Young, and a host of others. The spinnning wheel is pure Ganhdi ...

This is Salt March Gandhi, but why didn't I think of a spinning wheel?! And Stripper Gandhi (collect them all!) -- that just made me LOL!

Thanks for the plug Alex! Yesterday's featured person was South African activist and martyr Steve Biko, and since today is MLK's birthday, look for him this evening.

Should have had round glasses, more of a humble look. It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role of Gandhi.

it's not mohandas. it's mahatma; it means great one in hindi.

Um... "Mohandas" was his given first name, rebecca. "Mahatma" is more of an honorific applied to him (and others ... it's not unique to Gandhi).

The link that Eugenio Martinez suggested is basically linkjacked from Brickshelf user Morgan19's gallery, previously covered in Neatorama here.

Linkjacking is one of my pet peeves...
