Subject: [alt-beam] This might be interesting


A 3.5 meter long, 80-kilogram autonomous robotic dinosaur that interacts
with museum guests. Three battery-powered actuators per leg. Expected to
roam for two hours at speeds of one meter per second on a single charge.

I'm new to all this but having lurked on this list for quite a while ;-),

being pessimistic?).
