i was thinking about this the other day, the japanese robots are about 10 years ahead of american ones, and 20 years ahead of european and chinese ones (unless they are top secret.....)
but considering an asimo costs about 50'000 dollars, and will get cheaper, whereas soldiers cost about the same to train and feed for a year, in 5 years time when they are better and cheaper to make they will have access to a super cheap robot army |

The Japanese invented bear robots? Then no wonder they're the number one food source for bears in the Rocky Mountains. |

If they can make bear robots that can rescue, why can't they make bear robots that can fight? then there would be no wounded troops. |

I remember learning about the cultural differences between the West and East when it comes to Robots. Eastern Culture (Japan in particular) want robots as human like as possible. In the West, robots are meant to be more machine-like, to differentiate robots from people.
It makes a lot of sense. Look at the robots that we make in the US versus Japan. US robots are purely functional with or attempts to make it "look human". Japanese robots, on the other hand, are created from the start to be as "life like" as possible. |

So you have fighting robots...and then after the fighting, you send out the shotgun equipped coup de grace robots.  |

A built-in cold-blooded Arnie-style pun generator...yeah, now we're cookin' with gas.
Arniebearbot (just before executing a wounded baddie):
"Bear with me. This won't take long."
"Ze pain must be un-bear-able. Let me help."
"Killed by cute robots--how em-bear-assing."
"Grin and bear it. And die."
"Ve all haf our crosses to bear. But you just crossed ze wrong bear." |

I'd rather crawl without a leg than be scooped up by that hunk of junk. Seems to me like snipers and bombers and regular Abdi's with rifles would have easy target practice to finish you off (and probably the robot too). If they're going to put that thing out there, they might as well use Hello Kitty! |
