I am afraid of robots

Even though my good friend Emilie worked on robotics throughout her graduate work at Rice, and she has this blog about robots, I am still afraid of them.

The Israeli army is developing a robot snake that can be controlled by laptop to slither to its enemy. The laptop operator can choose when to detonate the bomb strapped to the snake’s back.

I’m not the only one freaked out. Check out the titles from top bloggers:

Engadget: Israeli military develops robot snake for battlefield, children’s nightmares

Gizmodo: Exploding Surveillance Snake Robot Is Unsettling at Best

See? Scary!
