Scary Robots

Again, from the MIT Technology Review: iRobot is a company founded by Rod Brooks (among others).

Take a look at their current research projects: DAMP, Swarm, and PackBot. All pretty cool but they leave you a little scared – Nightmares filled with swarms of these critters crawling out of the sea or around your tent. Too bad it’s all sponsored by DARPA et al, I’m sure there are some really good applications forbthis stuff.
