General Electric's late 1960s Hardiman. The company never got more than one arm working.

Aliens suit
by December 22, 2004 8:46 AM PST: I can't belive they didn't show the powered suit from the movie Aliens. The one that Sigouney Weaver gets into to fight the mother alien. THat was a such a big screen hit, and that scene with the powered suit really made the movie.; Like this Reply to this comment

What about Matrix Revolutions?
by December 22, 2004 5:52 PM PST: After reading the last post about leaving out the robot from Aliens the Ripley used, I feel it my duty, being a fan of the Matrix trilogy to cast a vote for the battle robots used by the Zion soldiers to fight off "The Machines" entering into Zion.

While on the subject, do I dare mention... The Power Rangers? Wait, scratch that...; Like this Reply to this comment

Just wish success
by January 3, 2005 11:26 PM PST: Oh, I just want to see it walking.

It must be the biggest robot ever walking with two legs.

Damn! That American is gonna take the fame of the first giant man-ridding robot from us!

The idea is pretty old hat.
by rdmsacto January 7, 2005 12:26 PM PST: About 40 years ago, a very imaginative person who also drew a very popular comic strip had features this concept in his other popular Sunday funny papers supplement. His name was Chester Gould and his appraisals of future technology were accurate. One other of his concepts was laser communications. He featured laser light beamed from mountaintop to mountaintop. We know that had not come to be, but now the laser is "piped" through fiber optics, still the same concept. Salute to Chester for his technological visions and his entertaining comic Dick Tracy!

nice invention
by January 21, 2005 3:23 PM PST: if this thing actually works, its the biggest invention i've heard of.
Due to it's immense weight and force it could really be able to do what is told us in the article.
Using High-End Equipment the Power of this could be maximized in order to use a Heavier Body Construction (for a heat shield or something similar)!
I think this has a real future!
And yes, i think it actually is an invention, due to it's low cost but allthough working technology it's a really good invention too :)
