So. What're your thoughts on this? Although its far too loud and clunky to be of actual use in warfare or domestic use. its still a surprising thing to see! The way it balances itself is amazing. I actually felt sorry for it when the guy kicked it, it was like "don't hurt that..mechanical thingamabob.." But imagine the possibilities with these things? I'm still in awe from watching that video..

I see this is another DARPA funded Robotic project... DARPA is really pushing the Robotic age. I can see where this is headed too.. Hell, in 10 years or so, ALL Tanks, Airplanes and fighter jets will be 100% robotically controlled. They will drop 'targeting probes' which are walking robotic things that can target the enemy and kill them.. It's gonna get crazy.. I have seen some crazy moves some of these test jets that are remotely controlled.. WOW.. no more worries about the 7g limit.. or is it 9? I forget... Less weight for the craft too..
Tanks will have perfect 1 mile+ vision, can spot things we can't and I'm sure they will have that technology that can detect WHERE gunfire or a shot (sniper) came from down to the inch.. (That's in South LA now)...
I just hope they don't allow the AI to take control... Can you say Skynet?
