" Military may have found the perfect way to test for chemical warfare this is not a joke check it out this is at -- It's the first robot to move like a real person it walks and crawl it does calisthenics. It even sweats for -- Palace -- achieve the discovery. Back of us here on set New York good morning to you good morning isn't made to sweat. I don't lump that suppliers how -- isn't that in the end and how creepy. It could be that they had the army is building this thing to test a chemical protection suits basic purpose it's to protect you from chemical warfare and they need to make sure that. When that that -- wearing the -- the robot does everything that a person wearing the -- would do to make sure that it's. Delivering on the record session just some of the you watch and -- got you got knocked it off balance and catches itself we've seen over the robots that would talk about -- moment but here is your point. -- this is where the real action is robots how come absolutely because I didn't get you might have seen is Sony and Honda -- those in this kind of promotional robots they look at Japan where the look they look a little bit like people but they're basically toys to basically a put you know they're they're like little little action figures stand up. This is a thing that actually moves balances does all the things that a person can do it it doesn't address the power source and make it autonomous. Then it can really in you can put skin on it. You can make something that looks walks and moves exactly like amber you're saying if so this is a prototype. If that's how much further down the road course well so if you -- in the in the video this this thing actually has that little wheel tethers and wires going into it has an external power source. But there are other robots may by the same company -- dynamics. They've got a dog robot which I think you have some video on that it's it's powered all by itself so if is. -- in the military wanna spend the money if could be two years now really. Yes 44 months -- case straight now bomb on the left is what we're talking about today on the right is what we featured. I think it was six months ago right got a big dog right the -- big dog and I don't know if you've got audio here but if it's that it's at this crazy buzzing noise exactly but they feel like like a Corvette engines strapped in the middle of that it provides the power. All you need is to basically do that same thing put it up on two legs and you have. Your humanoid robots here say we're really doing what we're advancing this. And add some of the other video the other stories we're getting out of places like -- did -- the -- right now the background that screen right some of the other -- stories reporting in Japan. Do not have a practical application what the military wants to you what the military wants to do is develop these robots set up in the combat. And save lives right -- that you can imagine what you can do these things the four legged robot could be carrying heavy loads into combat for instance that two legged robot could be sent on search and rescue missions that are too dangerous. And in principle you know up a plane crashes that in the pilots killed it actually send this thing the end and be the pilot is that right what with a camera products and -- the image didn't do it and operated by remote control -- the principal was no reason why couldn't do that okay so from pet man the big -- And that's another on on the horizon I'm certain that court Texaco after today's fascinating stuff and apparently. That meant to walk three miles an hour right now it's amazing and it's coming up sooner this thing come back and six months I think -- ten miles an hour easily sell. Thank you -- it was a -- is now."
