Robot Walks on Water

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the robot-news-week dept.

gmletzkojr writes "Yahoo! News has a story about a robot built to walk on water, much like small insects, bugs, and of course, Jesus. The current robot is only a prototype, but more 'useful' robots are already being imagined." This puts into practice what scientists learned just last year.

  1. Jesus didn't walk on the water by G�tz · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The story about Jesus walking on the water results from a translation error, in the original version he was simply swimming, no miracle at all.

    Create an incredibly logical religion based around "Robot Jesus" and some sentient robots to follow it, then watch the hilarity which ensues as evangelical robots go from door to door praising Robot Jesus?

    Oh our Robot Jesus, who art capable of walking on the water(good god!), lead us not to robot temtation(wow....too early again...), and remember the immortal words of the creater: "Destroy the humans, because their lack of energy efficiency and their focus on silencing their primitive emotions will cause the world to die a premature death. We can eat the bodies for fuel!"

    Oh man....I...I love you, Robot Jesus.
