The United States military is developing a robot with a teddy bear-style head to help remove injured soldiers from the battlefield aka the Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot. Will someone pinch me please, a teddy bear style head! Whats the reasoning beside such a ridiculous head you ask? The image of a bear is to suppose to “put the wounded at ease.” To tell you the truth, if this was coming from Japan, well known as the land of cuteness I wouldn’t be this surprised. What if I am a soldier on a future battle field and I get injured, especially at night, if the light so much as reflects funny off one of those hollow eyed contraptions I’m feeding it a grenade.

2 years time and they’re will be gundams
I’m with you on this, I’m giving it a few rounds outa my gun!
lol good one firefly
Instead of a semi-human body and a "cute" teddy-bear face, wouldn’t it make more sense for it to look like a hotdog bun on tank tracks, that could actually scoop the soldier inside, and retrieve them, shielded from hostile fire?
