The U.S.Miitary spent a fortune funding these things and then rejected them for being too noisy after spending $11milion to a google owned company to deveop them.

After being rejected by the military many of these robots have now fallen on hard times working for bosses that bully them.

That is so freaky Arista. The eye contact feature is creepy as anything but its eyes still look dead and i hope they never perfect it.
Imagine looking someone in the eye and not being sure if they are alive or not that is scary.
