Behold my Martial Arts Robot Army!

Mmmm. Only a few steps away from from my very own Robotic Ninja Death Squad.

From New Scientist
Visitors to CEATEC 2003 (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) met Morph3, a human-like robot about 30-centimetres tall developed by researchers at the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. It can perform back flips and karate moves thanks to 138 pressure sensors, 30 different onboard motors and 14 computer processors.

Another miniature humanoid robot on display was Fujitsu’s HOAP-2. This droid has been programmed to perform moves from the Chinese martial art taijiquan, as well as Japanese Sumo wrestling stances.

Shame they’re only tall enough to kick shins, but a Shin-Kicking Robotic Ninja Death Squad is better than no Robotic Ninja Death Squad, isn’t it?

Oh, rats, not the sort of Robot Army thread I was hoping for.
