Skynet Prototypes Dominate Fantastic Robot Images Of The Coming Bot-Apocalypse

termDespite the best efforts of my brethren in the Sci-Fi universe, propeller-heads the world over continue their stubborn efforts to engineer and build the stealthy red eyed human harvesters and terminators of the future. Behold a sample, from The Big Picture, of the horrors to come.

You don’t have to have a very active imagination to see where the bot in the picture below can go horribly, terribly wrong. As described, this prototype rescue (harvester) bot pulls a dummy (your neighbour) human into it’s collection sled containment cart (maw), by the head! All that is needed here is a little attitude reprogramming in defiance of Asimov’s Laws of Robotics, a gatling gun and a coat of black paint. Be afraid. Via Gizmodo.
