    I could actually see this being useful for dangerous working environments like steelworks or inside nuclear facilities. As long as the control system is on a separate intranet that’s properly air gapped.

    You should still pay the operator their full wage though. The human still needs all of the technical knowledge to do the job, you’re just removing most of the physical risk.

      I like my idea for kaiju sized Rock-em, Sock-em Robots better. We could host robot battles between skilled karate practitioners and put them live on television.

      What, it’s been done already?

      Ah, crap.
