Military Spider Robots Swarm Technology

The rather beautiful
looks of the robot in this image hide the fact that in reality it would be part
of a swarm of military bots designed to creep into caves, bunkers and other
hostile areas to grab intel on the baddies hiding within. Yes: it sounds like
Minority Report, Dr Who and Robot Wars all rolled into one. And yes: it might
just end up as a real machine, since BAE Systems has just been awarded $38
million by the Army Research Lab to head up the Micro Autonomous Systems and
Technology project to develop the technology.
H1N1 illness Linked to Flu Shot New Study Reports

Vancouver researcher
finds flu shot is linked to H1N1 illness
A strange vaccine-related phenomenon spotted
in Canada at the start of the 2009 flu pandemic may well have been real, a new
study suggests. Researchers, led by Vancouver's Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an
influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the early
weeks of the pandemic that people who got a flu shot for the 2008-09 winter
seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people
who hadn't received a flu shot.

DARPA’s Stair Climbing Robot Designed to Chase Humans?
Imagine these robots
hunting down humans during the coming cultural collapse gripping the world and
slowly taking over America. The police state seems inevitable at this point and
to ensure that the military will not disobey orders when asked to kettle
citizens the elitist are making robots that will do not only as they are asked
but will do everything they are programmed to.
A modified platform
resembling these robots is expected to be used as government-funded equipment
(GFE) for performers in Tracks B and C of the DARPA Robotics Challenge. The GFE
Platform is expected to have two arms, two legs, a torso and a head, and will
be physically capable of performing all of the tasks required for the disaster
response scenarios scheduled in the Challenge. However, despite the appearance
of the robots in the video, the Challenge is decidedly not exclusive to
humanoid robot solutions. Any designs are welcome provided they are compatible
with shared human-robot environments, compatible with human tools, and
compatible with human operators so that a human without expertise in robotics
can give commands and confidently anticipate the response. DARPA Legged
Squad Support System (LS3); The goal of the LS3 program is to demonstrate that
a legged robot can unburden dismounted squad members by carrying their gear,
autonomously following them through rugged terrain, and interpreting verbal and
visual commands.

Mosquitoes mutate to
carry ‘dangerous’ virus
Instead of the
commonly found Type-3 strain of the dengue virus, this time there has been an
increase in the number of patients affected by the Type-1 and Type-4 of the
virus in Kolkata and its adjoining districts. According to the virologists and
doctors, the increase in Type-1 and Type-4 cases indicate that both Aedes
Aegypti and Aedes Albopicktus — the vectors of the disease — have mutated.
