I agree it's creepy. Why is it that we react so?

Is it because the thing appears lifelike in it's mobility but totally alien in its conformation?

Not only lifelike, but also capable of making its own split second decisions ....meaning it could be....sentient.

After thinking about it I thought I was creeped by the lifelike look after a sleep and thinking about it I think its the life like movement, the recovery on ice is the part that freaked me out a dog on ice its nearly identical.

The applications of a unit like this is phenomenal if they can make it quiet it would make a hell of a Mule for military and civilian purposes.
