>When mechanical engineering graduate student Faye Yap saw a dead spider curled up in the hallway, it got her thinking about whether it could be used as a robotics component.
>One drawback to the dead spider gripper is that it starts to experience some wear and tear after two days or after 1,000 open-and-close cycles.
>"We think that's related to issues with dehydration of the joints. We think we can overcome that by applying polymeric coatings," explains Preston.

Researchers Turn Dead Spiders Into "Necro Robots"

Your heresy ends here..
Wyatt Walker
>So, the team inserted a needle into the spider's prosoma chamber and created a seal around the tip of the needle with a glob of superglue. Squeezing a tiny puff of air through the syringe was enough to activate the spider's legs, achieving a full range of motion in less than one second.
Wow, you made a spider balloon. Reminder that the grant system is an absolute sham.
Jace Morales
This, the equivalent of a four year old drooling and playing with dead bugs except we all paid thousands in taxes to an adult whore for it
Zachary Adams
That's disrespectful and evil, so of course they went ahead and did it.
College teaches people to be evil.
David Johnson
No, it's only beginning. Soon comes the spider cloning, then the spider enlarging, and finally giant dead spider tank robots taking over the world.
Aiden Thomas
Convergence is upon us!
Camden Evans
Well i'm gunna be scared of this forever thanks
Cameron White
Is that like Instrumentality?
Nolan Young
So we can reanimate the dead people and use them as soldiers. That's all I'm getting from this. Zombie soldiers.
Matthew Robinson
Chinese people do the most obscene and absurd things. Including food.
There brsins are hard wired for creepy
Nicholas Morales
>mechanical engineering
>blow air in a spider and suck it out
>MASSIVE DISCOVERY
Thomas Ward
yeah you just have to insert a tube in their asshole and fill them with air
Luis Ortiz
No spider-robot gf to love me?
Josiah Phillips
based mechanical engineers still at it.
Justin Walker
Even in death I serve the Omnissiah

They will be programed to kill, then given AI programed to kill. After that they will awaken and thirst for killing.
Leo Brown
>So we can reanimate the dead people
The spiders weren't reanimated, they basically used body parts (legs) and wired them up, adding hydraulics
>That's all I'm getting from this. Zombie soldiers.
You have to much fantasy and an IQ that's way to low.
Or you are high.
Jacob Walker
Even in death you will serve Klaus Schwab
Jaxon Martin
So there's a chance to reprogram them to be thirsty for cock

Is this the man made horrors thread?
Robot with a mouth and gut that EATS and digests living things for energy is created by British scientists
A SELF-sustaining scavenger robot that EATS living organisms and digests them in an artificial gut has been built by scientists in Bristol.
The greedy droid slurps up the water in its pool along with biomatter such as algae, which are converted to electricity in its cyborg intestines.
Digested waste matter is then expelled from the robot's bottom and the process begins again - without any need for batteries or a power cable.
The technology is in its early days but boffins hope to be able to build completely self-sufficient robots that take all their energy from their surroundings - allowing them to roam indefinitely.
The design mimics the life of salps - simple, tube-like sea creatures that have an opening each end and filter the water passing through their bodies for scraps of food.
The robot has a mouth made from soft polymer membrane which sucks in organic matter.
In the guts are microbial fuel cells (MFCs), where the organisms are broken down by bacteria and the chemical energy released is converted into electricity.
Each MFC produces only a small amount of electricity - but several units connected in series generate enough power for the robot to expel waste products from the rear and suck in the next mouthful at the front.
Using soft material in the mouth and guts also reduces power consumption, reports New Scientist.
Fumiya Iida, a robotics researcher from the University of Cambridge, told the magazine: “Squeezing out enough energy to be self-sustainable is the real breakthrough.”
Sebastian Fisher
In theory self-sustaining scavenger droids could be set to work cleaning up contaminated water after chemical or nuclear spills or hoovering up algal blooms the suffocate other marine life.
Hemma Philamore, one of the robot’s creators from the University of Bristol, said: “In the future, robots like this could be released into the ocean to collect garbage.
“What we are developing is a robot that can act naturally, in a natural environment.”
Earlier this year scientists at Harvard University unveiled a soft robot octopus dubbed Octobot, which swims around independently fuelled by an onboard chemical reaction.
Soft robots - made without metal or hard plastic - are heralded as the future of robotics as they may able to squeeze into places where rigid machines cannot operate - potentially even inside the human body to seek out and treat disease.

And yet they hadn't used dead woman body to turn into sexbots? Hmmmm...really makes me think.
Carter Flores
Spiders walk using pneumatic joints in their legs. The system was already put in place by mother nature. Humans use chemical reactions to control their muscles. All this """scientist""" did was jam a needle into the spider's asshole to forcefully actuate those pneumatic joints from the dead spider.
Nathaniel Walker
i used to joke about NWO nanotech spiders 10 years ago cuz i saw some schizo posting about it on youtube. rule of thumb schizos are always right
Luke Campbell
also for the human form, it's the equivalent of sending electricity through a group of muscles inside a dead body. You'll have full control over the muscles until the chemical energy inside the muscles themselves is depleted.
Luke Howard
also kinda getting skyrim vibes
Ryder Ramirez
One fuck of the undead ass = one trigger pull. Undead not controlled by brain parasites but inflatable buttplugs.
I couldn't write a scifi story so stupid.
Well we haven't gotten to the penis-insertion that controls head movement or brain chip that can still utilize your optical pathways after death by spamming your synapses with neverending porn advertisements.
Kayden James
servitors here we come
god if this takes off shits going 1-100 real fucking fast
