add some cushioning and intricate body parts and you have a autonomous blow-up doll.
it's amazing that the the muscles in the robots solely use carbon dioxide to function. in the long run, the robots could use humans as batteries: they give us piggyback rides and we breath on their necks. of course, there would be a mechanism that would distribute the air from the neck to all of their muscles. in theory. but probably not. posted by wettheory at 5:36 PM on August 11, 2000
