The era of Blade Runner and I, Robot seems to draw ever closer to reality with new robots like Chaos. This guy, though small, looks mean enough to make me run in the other direction crying like a little girl. But maybe that's just me being afraid of that whole nanotechnology thing, though.

Chaos — a project of Autonomous Solutions — is a mobile robot designed to do "dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks" such as explosive ordnance disposal, surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue. It has four independent tracks that can move it over most surfaces like a champ. This is definitely a cool robot, which may someday have a following like another well-known chrome dome. — Nino Marchetti
