Mechanic giant

When we are looking at the modern Atlas robots, we are forgetting that the origin of those devices is in the Soviet Union. That robot suit was actually the tank, or all-terrain vehicle, where the person would sit in the robot and uses the joystick and pedal for operating that thing. In fact, I don't know how the interface of the robot would work, but it might be as simple as possible. So I think it works as I will write in the next chapter.

Manipulators would be operated by joystick, and pedals will operate the legs. Actually in that device was probably two joysticks, one for each hand type manipulator. And the pedals for each leg, which allows to operate them independently. Sometimes is claimed that in those vehicles were weapons like machine guns and EMP-weapons in the hand, and when the operator would want to use those weapons, must that person push the button, and if the manipulators wanted to use as hands, that operator might use the triggers, to move the fingers. Today those devices might have a hybrid controlling system, and it might use data gloves, virtual reality, and even the EEG to control those devices.

In the 1990s the problem was that the computers have no calculating power. When the operator wants to use this device in hard terrain would the button push for that mode, what will control the movement trajectories of hands and legs. In the modern versions would be more advanced computer technology. That allows using more sophisticated control systems. And those systems would operate also independently.

What means that artificial intelligence can notice if the vehicle must step higher and if there are things like walls, where must be climbed. And the computer chooses the movement style. When we are thinking about the abilities of those vehicles they might be very suitable in the rescue operations, where the big size grab must be removed very fast. The size of those robots could be very big, and they can be as tall as the house. The dimensions are making this kind of thing work as the human, but in theory, this mechanic giant could be even over 100 meters tall, and in the wildest scenarios it can assemble the space rockets or high buildings.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
