As usual this sort of technology will have a military use… cyborgs that will kill and once they make artificial brains ,they will become self-aware. The terminator might not be fiction after all

This video is much more epic if you watch it with the terminator theme song.

Awesome!! There are a lot of military and civil applications and implications. Light driven robots. Light is like water. Gabriel García Márquez.
