The Robots are coming!

This is not just a movie prop.  This is real.  7 Research teams have been working with a virtual robot for months under a DARPA program and in December will have the opportunity to test their software on the real thing.  Not just walking, but climbing ladders and driving cars.  The research teams are from the top schools in the nation and this work will surely accelerate the introduction of robots into the mainstream.
