A sex robot with super strength… Think I’ll pass. Didn’t we all learn from Wolowitz?
Sex assassins that can pop your skull like a pimple. What could go wrong?
Am I the only one reminded of Larry Niven’s “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”?
Overrated; the super-strength is based on ultra-light test articles. Ants have super-strength, too. Everything I read makes it look likely it’ll be subject to square/cube scaling like other similar actuators.
Hydraulics can be very strong in small packages.
Well, yeah, this is essentially a cunning repackaging of hydraulics with a flexible chassis in a bag rather than a piston. Potentially a useful technique, but not revolutionary.
