Не-не, в этот раз с благородной целью - они создали БиоРобота полностью из  "prosthetic body parts" (те из "протезов" разных органов).
За 1 (один) миллион долларов.
Собрали за шесть месяцев.
И это немного пугает. В смысле - и сам робот тоже пугает.


Создавали Бионика в британской компании Shadow Robot.
Roboticists Rich Walker and Matthew Godden of Shadow Robot Co. in England led the assembly of the bionic man from prosthetic body parts and artificial organs donated by laboratories around the world.
"The whole idea of the project is to get together all of the spare parts that already exist for the human body today - one piece. If you did that, what would it look like?" said Bertolt Meyer, a social psychologist from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and host of the documentary.
 
The robot was modeled after Meyer, who was born without a hand and relies on an artificial limb. He showed off the bionic man by having it take a few clumsy steps and by running artificial blood through its see-through circulatory system.

"It, kind of, looks lifelike. Kind of creepy," said Paul Arcand, a tourist who was visiting from Boston with his wife.

The bionic creation's artificial intelligence is limited to a chatbot computer program, similar to the Siri application on the Apple iPhone, said Robert Warburton, a design engineer for Shadow Robot.
 
"The people who made it decided to program it with the personality of a 13-year-old boy from the Ukraine," he said. "So, he's not really the most polite of people to have a conversation with."

"The only problem is, it has the persona of "an annoying 13-year-old boy from the Ukraine," Walker said."

Возникает вопрос - причём тут Украина???
Они в него заложили мозги Янука, что ли?

ЗЫ Миллиардерам можно не беспокоиться, миллионерам тоже, а вот простым смертным таких биоников не достанется - разве что производство отдадут китайцам и те будут штамповать "тела" за пару тыщ баксов штука.
Главное теперь - научиться к этому "телу" пришивать голову с мозгами.
А вот это будет стоить не одну сотню миллионов.
