Awesome and fascinating or some peoples Nightmare. You won't believe how far the sciense already is before you have seen Rex - the million dollar "Man" -

Man in motion: prosthetic science absoluteley amazing and a credit to human kind, but, if in the wrong hands, an Army could take over and control the world.

I want one! Always been a big spirograph fan. I wonder how big these can get? Would be cool to see tractor-size ones for bigger decorations.

Forget about The Terminator, the real problem with AI (artificial intelligence) is what to do when it meets your boss or even your friends. This is not the pitch for some kind of sci-fi rom-com, but rather the genuine concern of Dr Stuart Armstrong, a research fellow at Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute. His job is to think about future threats to the human race and how to confront them.

They’re soft, biocompatible, about 7 millimeters long – and, incredibly, able to walk by themselves. Miniature “bio-bots” developed at the University of Illinois are making tracks in synthetic biology. More: http://news.illinois.edu/news/12/1115bio-bots_RashidBashir.html

Scientists have developed a robot that can be controlled through mind scans. They hope that the robot could be used to create avatars for people with locked-in syndrome or other conditions that do not allow for movement of the body. More on ROBOTICS: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=robotics

Soon, we will be able to build computers with artificial intelligence and processing power that rivals the human brain. Intelligence will be everywhere, embedded in our clothing, our vehicles and homes. Intelligent robots will serve us - until they don't feel like doing so anymore. And what happens then...? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1277322/plotsummary

Even for our greatest philosopher of the surreal, Sigmund Freud, reality remained rooted in the personal and social. A century on, however, technology is granting us the ability to alter our perception of reality, construct multiple representations of ourselves like avatars, and have relationships with artificial agents like robots. All of these are simultaneously expanding and destabilizing our sense of self. Via juandoming

Welcome to the brave new world of Machine Beauty, where our new willingness to replace our limbs with superior prosthetic devices hints at our technological future as a species. Maybe futurist Ray Kurzweil was right after all when he predicted the merging of man and machine within our lifetime as part of the great Singularity.

Cathy Hutchinson has been unable to move her own arms or legs for 15 years. But using the most advanced brain-machine interface ever developed, she can steer a robotic arm towards a bottle, pick it up, and drink her morning coffee. The interface includes a sensor implanted in Cathy's brain, which 'reads' her thoughts, and a decoder, which turns her thoughts into instructions for the robotic arm. In this video, watch Cathy control the arm and hear from the team behind the pioneering study. More on ROBOTICS: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=robotics

A group of American researchershave developed Brainput -- pronounced brain-put, not bra-input -- a system that can detect when your brain is busy, and offload some of your workload to a computer. More on ROBOTICS: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=robotics
