Russia's combat robot fails to impress Putin

Posted on by

Vladimir Putin looked less than thrilled when watching a slow-moving military robot riding a four-wheeler. Hey, not all cyborg bikers look like the Terminator.

Russia's president Vladimir Putin -- nicknamed Superputin -- pilots jets, drives race cars, rides horses, tranquilizes polar bears, fishes shirtless in freezing Siberian rivers and is a martial arts master in Judo.

So when you present him with the ultimate military robot, it better be impressive. Sadly, when a research institute outside of Moscow showed off its latest cyborg combat technology in action, Putin seemed almost bored.

In this video footage from Russia Today, Putin watches with seeming disappointment as the combat robot that looks like a member of Daft Punk inches its way on an ATV bike around a snowy racetrack during a demo.

There's even a burning vehicle in the background to give it that extra danger-zone ambiance.

However, when the helmet looks like a giant smile and the robot is just sitting there in an almost calm Knievel kind of way, it's hard not to blame Putin for his lack of enthusiasm.

This can't be good news for Russia, which has reportedly been determined to build a variety of combat robots, including small, unmanned tanks equipped with machine guns.

UFC Parent Company Pursuing Deal with Cris "Cyborg" Justino

The UFC is going all-out in its pursuit of high-profile MMA free agents, it seems, asESPN's Brett Okamotois reporting thatZuffa LLC, the UFC's parent company, is pursuing a deal with former Strikeforce featherweight champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino. The news comes a day after the UFC surprisingly pulled former Pride FC heavyweight and K-1 kickboxer Mirko Cro Cop out of the clutches of its chief rival, Bellator MMA.

UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta said the following to Okamoto, "We certainly have an interest in Cyborg fighting for us...We feel that down the road there is a possibility of a big fight between her and Ronda, but there are still a lot of things that need to happen."

That said, Fertitta was not especially specific, or even optimistic, regarding Justino joining the UFC at any point in the foreseeable future. Naturally, the big hang-up in all this is her inability to cut down to 135-pounds, "she needs to prove she can get down to 135 pounds before we would take the risk of making that fight happen. Obviously, if she came over and didn't make the weight, it would be a disaster."

Justino is currently signed to the all-women's promotion Invicta FC, with just one bout remaining on her three-fight deal. While she has long been considered one of the greatest female mixed martial artist in the world (and possibly the greatest), a 2012 failed drug test, which was flagged for theanabolic steroid stanozolol, has made her a controversial figure. UFC President Dana White and UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey have also both frequently barbed Justino for this.

Which of course begs the question...why is the UFC pursuing a fighter they don't like who fights in a weight class they don't have?

Worth noting is that relations between the Cyborg camp and the UFC have softened, in spite of White's less-than-mature statements regarding Justino. Not only that, but the UFC and Bellator have been in a race to scoop up every prominent free agent in MMA, with the UFC scooping up Mirko Cro Cop, signing the completely untrained pro wrestler CM Punk, and making a strong play for seemingly retired women's MMA star Gina Carano. Bellator has scooped up the likes of YouTube sensation Kimbo Slice, and recently debuted former Strikeforce champion Marloes Coenen and fearsome striker Melvin Manhoef.

Because of that, it isn't a strong leap to assume that the UFC is looking to simply keep Cyborg away from Bellator...which of course would suggest that, for the first time in a long time, the MMA leader feels threatened by a competing promotion.

We Were Promised Space Lasers: The State of the Union's Biggest Fibs

Posted on by

This Tuesday, Jan. 20, President Barack Obama will honor an American tradition as old as George Washington: the State of the Union. The constitutionally ordained address to each new session of Congress has been a presidential ritual since 1790. Its a chance to check in on the present and make some pledges for our future.

Its that future bit that got us thinking: If all that talk had come true, even the crazy, far-out pledgesespecially the crazy, far-out pledgeswhat would our world look like today? Not political promises and posturing for lower taxes or immigration reform, but lifestyle manna such as supersonic jets and paralysis-curing implants.

So we read through 35 years of State of the Union addresses, from Obama back to Ronald Reagan, and found an interesting mix of science and science fiction with varying likelihoods of the prognostications ever becoming reality. Obama may have missed his goal of having 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015 (by 725,000 cars), but its bound to happen one day. Meanwhile, Reagans nuclear shield (popularly known as the Star Wars program) is a remnant of a time tormented by the Cold War. As for Clintons child-safe smart guns well, whos to tell?

Together, these visions offer a uniquely American version of Utopia. One wed be perfectly happy driving our Wi-Fi-enabled, 3D-printed, hydrogen-fueled car aroundbut maybe only for a day or two.

The Pledge: In 2013, Obama referred to a once-shuttered warehouse in the Rust Belt that became a state-of-the-art lab where new workers are mastering 3D printing and proposed replicating its success around the country.

The Reality? As Obama said, it has already happened in Youngstown, Ohio, thanks to his Manufacturing Innovation Institutes. But the likelihood of reviving former industrial towns with 3D printing hubs seems counterintuitive to the very idea of 3D printing, not to mention the fact that 3D printing is still pricier than the old-fashioned assembly line for most manufacturers.

The Pledge:In 2013, Obama also heralded the work of scientists who are developing drugs to regenerate damaged organs and urged Congress to keep making those investments.

The Reality? Things are looking good. Scientists have made great advances in regenerating organs using stem cells (doctors grew trachea way back in 2008). And ever since Obama removed some barriers for using stem cells in research, scientists have been steaming ahead.

The Pledge: In 2000, President Bill Clinton asked gun companies to invest in smart guns to keep weapons out of the hands of children, as well as other steps to keep guns out of the wrong hands.

The Reality? Despite the 15 years that have passed since Clintons call to action, its still a dreamone pretty much destined to fail, thanks both to the National Rifle Association and to lack of consumer interest. (We do have fingerprint-enabled gun casesand GPS locators that track when a gun is drawn and shot. Baby steps.)
