Pentagon's 'Project Avatar' will let people inhabit the bodies of robots remotely.



The Pentagon is working on the development of drones that are humanoid robots instead of aircraft.



According to the Pentagon's new budget, "the Avatar program will develop interfaces and algorithms to enable a soldier to effectively partner with a semi-autonomous bi-pedal machine and allow it to act as the soldier’s surrogate."







Sweet!

That is super cool. That's one way for the nerdy kids to have an uprising, I guess.
