wow that's pretty cool, it could be a pack mule for our troops, among many other things.

I can't remember where but I heard, seen or read something somewhere the other day about a new artifiicial muscle. It would expand or retract as variable amounts of electrical current is applied. It could potentiallly be used in protstesis, but imediate research was for building a robot. It was suppose to be 100 times faster than a human muscle, and pound for pound twice as stong. Right now it broke and lost connections very easily so they were trying to find a way to reduce and imrove the connections.

OMG!

That is so fake.

It's done by the same people that faked 9/11 and the moon landing.
