1. Teddy bear face designed to be reassuring
2. Hydraulic upper body carries up to 227kgs (500lbs)
3. When kneeling tracked "legs" travel over rubble. Switches to wheels on smooth surfaces
4. Dynamic Balance Behaviour (DBB) technology allows the robot to stand and carry loads upright on its ankles, knees or hips for nearly an hour

A 6ft man-stealing robot with the face of a bear is the least reassuring thing I can think of.

    I wonder how good it's grip is. I imagine that a dummy is a lot less hard to carry than a guy who is covered in blood and leaving his intestines all over the place.

    but a huge robot with a teddy bear face isn't going to slake my terror

    What if all our futuristic robots are like this?

    I don't want to my sex-bot 9000 to have the face of a bear.


    ...or do I?

    Also, Britain is doing it wrong. Give these things some claws and send them in as close combat shock troops.

    I read an article about some military company in WWII who used a bear to help move munitions crates. It was awesome.
