That is pretty neat. Now I am scared as all I can think of is the autonomous gunships hanging from the skyscrapers in Transformer movies being a reality when mixed with open AI and the evil men of Goggle and Microsoft.

Heh, I've heard those microspine hooks have a ways to go before they can handle gunships! For now, foamie 3D profile planes are kind of the perfect application. What's even scarier to imagine, IMHO, is that those microspines were developed with the idea of allowing people to scale walls, etc...

Yeah but those you just flick in the nose as they pass by your windows.. Heavily armed hovercraft not so much.

Have you seen them used on the creepy RC bugs that DARPA was working on for spying and military applications yet? THOSE are scary.
