Rise of the Machines: New Martial Arts Robots to Defeat Mankind, Take Over World

"Asia's largest electronics and computing fair in Tokyo -- CEATEC 2003 (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) -- was kicked off Saturday with the unveiling of robots that can do martial arts. A robot called Morph3 has 138 pressure sensors, 30 different onboard motors and 14 computer chips and special programming that enables it to do karate. A Fujitsu robot called HOAP-2 does a Chinese martial art called taijiquan and Sumo stances." [Mike's List: The Raw Feed]
