Fears

We carry our fears around with us everywhere we go. They can hide in the background, then overwhelm us when we least expect it, and they sometimes even comfort us. Occasionally, experience brings us new fears. That’s the subtext of this animated video made by Nata Metlukh as her graduation project at the Vancouver Film School.

So should we fight or ignore the individual fears we carry, or are they something to be embraced? I guess that would depend on how overall useful they are to us. You can see more about the project at Metlukh's Tumblr blog. -via Everlasting Blort

I would have loved to be at the meeting where they discussed a need for a autonomous human-eating robot.

I swear, it's like these people have never seen any science fiction film. They could have at least watched Terminator 3 a few years back.

Yeah. I try not to be an anti-science guy, running around screaming the Apocalypse is upon us, but HOLY $#&@ING CRAP! I mean, what the hell are they honestly thinking? It's like they're playing mind games with us at this point.

I think they should be able to... I think the thing about "biomass" is that you'd have to be decomposing first before it can harvest the energy. An unconscious injured soldier isn't decomposing enough for it to harvest any energy.

I looked this up, and the maker of this robot, Robotic Technology Inc. (RTI) have a press release concerning this project.

They claim it is strictly a vegetarian robot.

They're pullin' our chains. haha

This is just one of the many developing energy resources for the future robots. Alternatives are fuel cells, chemically powered artificial muscles, solar etc...
