Military Robot To Rescue Soldiers - Bob Schroeck - 06-08-2007

BBC article here. This seems very cool and interesting, but then I got down to the name of the company developing this thing (about 2/3 into the story) and suddenly got a very very bad feeling about it. Because I realized this robot is supposed to give injured soldiers a hand...

I didn't imagine that the Head was a teddy-bear head. Now I'm going to have to be careful in the toy stores...
(Ah, yes - I actually read that Important Safety Tip when it first came out, back in early December 1996.)
