I’m still boggling at the idea to give them Teddy Bear heads. The Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) is under development for the US military to rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield.
Gary Gilbert, from the US Army’s Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Centre in Frederick, Maryland, said that the teddy bear appearance was deliberate.
“A really important thing when you’re dealing with casualties is trying to maintain that human touch.”
