Remember that final scene in Aliens, when Ripley battles that alien queen with a robotic construction loader that works simply on the operator’s body movements? If not, just watch it here. Well, the engineers at Raytheon-Sarcos in Salt Lake City have created something similar – for real – demonstrating in the video below a unique set of tele-operated robotic arms attached to a modified Ditch Witch compact tool carrier, reminding us of that awesome futuristic construction tool in James Cameron's classic sci-fi horror flick. This is so awesome.
