A fascinating article about artificial intelligence including a discussion of everyone's favorite gauge of humanity, the Turing Test!
Pictured below is the Battlefield Extraction and Retrieval (BEAR) Robot. They gave it funny little ears to make it less piss-your-pants terrifying. I imagine a wounded soldier is already emotionally vulnerable and I'm sure the shock of getting hoisted by a robot straight out of Terminator 2 is significant. Good thing it looks vaguely like a teddy bear. That's not even more terrifying and perverse.
More information about the BEAR can be found here.
