Robots powered by electric motors or hydraulics' are to slow and require to much support machinery or batteries.

So what about the idea of using something similar to hydraulics but instead use cylinders filled with explosives. They could not only be fast but powerful but would probably suffer from another problem is that they would not work well slow.

It would also require a computer to constantly estimate how much liquid explosives to pump into each cylinder to do the required job and not to blow its arms or legs off.use of computers is a requirement for this sort of technology. It would be necessary for the computer to form a visual model of its environment and plan for the exact use of explosives for each leg of arm in advance of use for optimum performance.

Its easy to imagine such a robot rapidly moving so fast it could literally bounce off the walls and jump more than 1 story high pushing over cars in its way. The strength of such a robot would be limited to the strengths of the materials of its construction

In other parts of this site I will be looking at the question of possible super performing alloys and looking at exotic metals like scandium in the hopes that something better than steel aluminum or titanium might be possible where costs do not matter. Could be extra useful for small flying robots where heat is also a problem.
