Quote:'...To achieve this feat, the experts tweaked the robot’s frame and programmed more functions including
liquid transfer, heat release, and support. The aluminum-based frame was printed using a laser that sintered
the powered metal.
The scientists explained that each bone features a porous honeycomb-like layer that retain water, which was
subsequently released when the robot performs strenuous activities and starts to overheat.
The water that was released in the inner porous layer of the bones then travels to more porous areas near the
frame’s surface where it readily evaporates...'
Cars have radiators and lubrication. It's just fancy wordplay for a technology that certainly is many-many
years away from being able to function in a human society. We perceive robots as close to humans because
there's a face stuck on the front that we recognise, but that's simply because of our natural tendencies.
As Ninurta points out, mentally urging a set of muscles to perform a task involves such intricacy that to
simulate this via metal joints, artificial muscles and lab-manufactured neural networks, seems doubtful at
this time.

Good ole' Musk! The media like him and it costs very little Journalistic-investigating, his company just
send out the guff and the MSM paint it with click-baiting headlines. But personally, I'm still hesitant on
Elon Musk's agenda.
The idea of human-thinking robots and conscious vehicles driving alongside humans is for distraction
from the real issues. Think legal accountability for a start!
Until something political -that is easily reported happens that favours the mainstream media narrative,
Musk's advertising campaigns will suffice.
