Badass Robot

Unitree Robotics shows off its new H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian robot by first terrifying us, then pulling back to make him seem useful and heroic. This robot can beat your car up while showing off its martial arts moves. It would probably make short work of hauling you in for questioning, and might break your bones while doing it. But oh, it's also useful for protection from bad guys, and its strength and quick reflexes could work for saving lives. But who decides whether it will be used for nefarious or humanitarian purposes? The H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian is not yet available, and might never be sold to the public. The video description has a CYA line: "Please use the robot safely and in a friendly manner." Right. All that said, I'd love to see the outtakes from this production. (via Born in Space)
