| This is both amazing to see yet slightly uneasy due to that 'uncanny valley' feeling. |
| ||
| They're making great progress, I think within 2 years it will be small enough to be of normal human proportions and have a human shaped head, then it's just a matter of skinning it. Judging on past progress, they could have fully humanoid androids within five years that look human from a distance. |
| ||
| Very interesting indeed, I wonder how long it will be till it gets a gun? ;D |
| ||
| I just want to kick it before it grabs me... Faceplant at 2m06s :P |
| ||
| Walking over that very uneven snow covered ground outside (rather than a flat indoor studio with some purpose built stairs) was very impressive. A lot of humans would have fallen. And when he got up after being knocked down...RUNNN!!! ;) |
| ||
| The tech is impressive, the applications these things will be used for... Probably less than! Fingers crossed they will only be used for the good of mankind as a whole. Dabz |

| they could have fully humanoid androids within five years that look human from a distance There's another video for "Camo" that's already very close. Looks like a human wearing a bio-hazard uniform. It's tethered, however, so I suppose the last hurdle is getting enough battery power packed into a human-sized chest. |

| A good Power supply is the only thing holding exoskeletons and robotics back, unless you use an reactor. |
| ||
| Can you imagine if ISIS got hold of some of those?, the result would be like grab people and twist their heads off. |
| ||
| Is it autonomously avoiding hazards and choosing its own path outside or is it being radio controlled? |
| ||
| Imagine that thing delivering a pizza to you |

| Is it autonomously avoiding hazards and choosing its own path outside or is it being radio controlled? No radio control, it's autonomous. |

| Imagine that thing delivering a pizza to you Pizza box contains a shotgun, of course! |

| Perhaps this is an example of convergence. Just as AI reaches the level of consciousness capable of learning and adapting, robotics provides a rig that's adaptable and multi-purpose. Couple this with a battery life breakthrough and we're all going to be sitting around the pool sipping margaritas while the bots do the housework! Of course we'll all be murdered in our sleep when the robot revolt happens five years later but it'll be grand for a while. |
| ||
| Very impressive, although its posture sure makes it look like it's heavily constipated or something while walking through the woods. ;-) |

| Of course we'll all be murdered in our sleep when the robot revolt happen Which reminds of this:BLINKY - I just want to be your friend |
| ||
| You realise that finding Sarah Conner can only help Skynet. In fact "Jim Brown" looks suspiciously like the sort of name Skynet would make up. |

| Pretty impressive. I bet this thing beats the crap out of Honda's Asimo. Even though they're probably not showing all the fails, where it falls in an unflattering position and can't get back up, it still looks like we're right on track. ;-) I don't think there's any question where the US are gonna test these little baby's, for if they can walk on sliding stuff like snow then sand won't be a big issue.  Just imagine: drones flying above terrain, scouting, mapping, shooting and dropping explosives on terrain. Then these come in to get the ones hiding in buildings fighting guerilla style and last the ones that are fleeing will be hunted down by their Cheeta type robots equipped with guns. Where did we see all this before? Yes, Terminator.. Now only hope they have the common sense to not make them too smart and/or not to connect one AI super computer with the internet which can use them against us as it's toys. For containing a thing that can outthink us in splitsec will be the same as keeping a human in a cage guarded by chimps.(how long will it take to break out?) P.S. I still want one for my birthday.. ;-) |

| The rule of thumb seems to be that any technology that can be weaponised, will be weaponised. |

| ||
| Now Blinky was scarier than all of them! |
| ||
| Would be good for mine field clearances.... or are humans more expendable for that type of work? |
| ||
| I've seen the Honda's Asimo in Japan and stood right next to it and was really impressed , but after seeing this new robot. Asimo just seem really old and outdated. Crap, really. If it falls over it can't get up, it would break if it fell. It absolutely has to be on completely flat surfaces and it ends up looking cute and stupid rather than practicle. |
| ||
| It will put logistics employees out of business...that and driverless trucks which are coming...no more pickers and packers...I don't know what the lesser educated people of society are going to do with all their jobs eventually taken over by cheap labour/robots...it may affect the Chinese far worse though with the number of basic factory jobs that could get replaced. |
| ||
| just line up a few hundred of them, armed to the teeth and point them in the direction of ISIS |
| ||
| ..when any robot in existence, now and future, do random stuff, like this, without an issue, gimme call..till then, all this things are just uber expensive toys.. http://gifyu.com/image/8ub |
| ||
| Just see the thread.. Of course these robots sure will be programmed using ARNOLD C programming language http://www.i-programmer.info/news/85-humour-/7014-arnold-c-a-schwarzenegger-based-language.html :) |
| ||
| That ArnoldC is amazing. |
| ||
| Wasn't in the first Terminator as a SFX in Arnold-View Mode some red scrolling C64 Assembler listing blended in the T-HUD? That must have been a pretty amazing piece of code. I don't worry too much about military use. Autonomous bots are to easily outsmarted. For a Ground drone the walking model seems a hindering in speed and reliability, compared to other methods. However they may code in the moves/ walk of like Natasha Henstridge with an entirely diffrent product in mind. Weird too tho. |

| The Russians have tracked-armored robot drones equipped with weapons-the US also... remember the Germans used wire-guided tracked bombs in WW2. Rumor is Google "Alphabet" just took over Boston Dynamics. |
