DARPA's latest competition for rescue robots in disaster zones, able to use "hand tools and vehicles". DARPA's previous projects have been for autonomous cars driving across deserts. I'm with the expert Noel Sharkey on this, its actually meant to develop robot soldiers for the USA, ie. Skynet.

What they say they want to do


Now give them guns...


Yes I'm pretty sure it is that Noel Sharkey who was one of the judges on Robot Wars, the series about, umm, radio controlled fighting robots.
