Progress in the field of robotics is reaching the stage that the paranoid amongst us could seriously qualify as worrying! In fact, you could quite easily be left with a nagging sensation that some prototypes could enable the implementation of devices and systems that wouldn't necessarily increase the overall happiness of humankind...
Such is the case with an invention developed by German scientists at the Technical University of Munich. They have developed a miniature camera with a lens that is able to pan and tilt autonomously and that actually works faster than the human eye! In fact, panning speeds can reach 2500 degrees per second! We hardly dare imagine what this kind of system could engender once implanted into a humanoid... "Terminator", does that ring any bells?
