 exactly. they think they're doing good by inventing robots, and maybe for the time being it would be. You see computers and artificial equipment making their own decisions now, give it a hundred years or so and imagine how advanced those decisions will be. I say they need to draw a line on how far they take these experiments.

I can see how something like this will help people go through rehab, or even for disabled people in the future. Imagine being paralyzed, but this type of suit can help you walk again, that would be a miracle in itself. :)

 We must make the 3 laws, but to prevent Viki we must destroy all mechines after a certian point so they don't evolve their understanding of the laws.

It can also move on its own accord, enabling it to help elderly or handicapped people walk, developers said.


This intriques me. Image those poor people told they can never walk again, being able to with a suit like this. This is the type of thing i'd like to see this technology explored for.

 To some of you: You've watched too much Terminator and Matrix. :P

Anyway, sounds interesting. Though..the day we see people walking around in 33 kilogram machines that look like a rip-off of MechAssault...is the day Omi is very happy. :flex:
