Search and Rescue Robots

Posted by michael on from the where-no-man-has-gone-before dept.

An anonymous submitter sent in: "Interesting article on the New York Times [need an acct, blah] about the various robots currently in use to search the rubble of the WTC. Not a very technical article (expectedly). Seems to be all telepresence stuff. No mention of any autonomous devices, which is as I'd expect. Too bad we don't have a few platoons of those sony bipeds with firefighter/s&r programming to make that first response."

    The quality of the news postings are sinking deeper and deeper.
    I am not very happy that the propaganda machinery of President Bush is working and everyone is suddenly shouting for war (when you think war is something 'cool' you are a BIG IDIOT).
    I hope that not all Americans are like this, because I'm slowly losing respect.
    The politics of President Bush is reminding me more and more of Hitler (seeking scapegoats and destroy them).

    Taliban surely sucks, but you should use your brain and not your butt when you're thinking about how to treat this situation.
