Robot Bear to the Rescue!


The US military is developing a robot with a teddy bear-style head to help carry injured soldiers away from the battlefield.

The Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) can scoop up even the heaviest of casualties and transport them over long distances over rough terrain.

New Scientist magazine reports that the "friendly appearance" of the robot is designed to put the wounded at ease.

It is expected to be ready for testing within five years.

Dan versus Disney










The covers so far for the Wonderland series. I'd been wondering what the next few might look like, but now there's a good chance it won't ever get to that.

Ah well, fingers crossed. It's been fun working with Tommy and the rest of the gang, but i guess your always playing with fire when negotiating with the Mouse :p
