Comments on Starfish Robot Stretching Video
A short video showing the Starfish robot, one of my faves, stretching and getting ready to walk. (Read
the complete story)
| "Real awesome... and also creepy!" (LanderX 9/1/2007 9:29:28 AM) |
| "Real Scary - PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE TERMINATOR HAPPEN!!" (Russell 9/1/2007 10:53:44 AM) |
| "Why not add rubberized foot pads to give it traction on surfaces?" ( 9/1/2007 11:41:11 AM) |

| "OMG, the dragoons have arrived! Call in the siege tanks!" (They Are Here 9/2/2007 3:22:29 AM) |

| "I, for one, welcome our new robotic starfish overlords." (Michael 9/2/2007 7:14:02 AM) |
| "(Robots_Have_Feelings: I feel the same way; it's interesting how robots that are in some way biomimetic arouse our sympathy." (Bill Christensen 9/2/2007 3:59:12 PM) |
