by the great folds of the matrix, what have we done.......

 

Yup, we're screwed

 

very impressive stop motion  

 

I was going to say is this stop motion or real?

If it is real doest it mean that years from now instead of a spray tan I can have a spray car? with Spray driver?

 

I for one welcome our new origami overlords. 

In all seriousness, that's pretty neat. It'll be interesting to see how the progression of this technology unfolds.

 

Real life triple changer nice!

 

Erm, the trailer for my Armada Prime can do that.

 

People don't learn seriously. Just stop this development, it won't end well. And that's not me being paranoid from too much sci-fi. Eventually the will create Robots with AI and then...

 

Odd, I reported this over a year ago and it never made the front page.

WELL DUH! that little peace of paper is already a transformer! hes a robot in disguise! of course there not going to reveal pictures of his robot mode! that would totally blow his cover!  

 

1... 2... 3.... paper beats humanity

 

"But it is anticipated that in future it will be used to create full-sized cars and aircraft that morph as they move, or robots that can "flow" like mercury into small openings, or multipurpose military uniforms that can adapt to different environments."

Hmmmmm, I'm thinking T2!   Forgot the exact "serial number" of that liquid-metal dude, but this is pretty cool. Anybody else concerned about something similar to Skynet being created?

 

Yeah, but this thread has a fun video to watch  

 

Well along with this the military have commisioned a vehilce that IS armed, has ai, is 6 wheeled and can go out into the field do its job and come back for fuel and ammo then go back into the field. Ok maybe its more like a terminator but its here now.

 

You know somewhere out there someone is developing the shapeshifting rock and scissor to counter the paper!

 

good line. i think a real transformer would have to be made partially out of stuff like that and partially out of normal stuff for wheels and such like. and thats without going into the whole "animate robot" thing.

Edit:wait, couldnt you make a cube out of that stuff?!? all spark cube is i quote "responsible for creating cybertron and the transformers". this could possibly be an early step towards real transformers.thus, all spark cube(or at least the net of an all spark cube.

 

Meh... call me when they actually build giant transforming robots.

 

Kinda silly loading it with magnets like that - all you need to do to make it fail is put it on some metal.

 

Interesting...but unless it sounds like a robotic Frank welker, I'm not impressed.
