Very interesting. They probably used surplus laser guided bomb electronics in it. :-) Sincerely though, this is a step in the right direction. A big step. Now the developers have a working remotely guided robot, they can jump on speech recognition and get to the voice controlled robot - and hope something like Isaac Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics is hard coded in the robot brain.
