The Nightmare in Silicon Valley: 8 horror technologies that should scare you to death
Every night is fright night with what can happen once these scary technologies take hold in ways that you may not have imagined.
A new Science Museum exhibition has brought together the biggest collection of humanoid robots ever assembled.
By the 1990s, real science was starting to catch up with science fiction and it was at this time that Honda's P2 prototype literally stepped towards the future. Developed in secret for almost a decade by Honda engineers who conducted studies on human movement to build the robot, the Honda P2 was introduced to the public in 1996. It was the first humanoid robot capable of walking across a room and up stairs.
While the feat was impressive, it took a toll on P2's systems, with the energy required to walk draining its battery in only 15 minutes. It was both a small step and a giant leap for the public face of robotics.
