Robo Kill

Will robots be chasing us one day?

Yes, soon. Very soon.

The most recent movie that advanced this topic was iRobot starring Will Smith. The robots had brains and killing power. Then they got emotion and went out of control. See the trailer here.

Ground-based robots in Iraq have saved hundreds of lives in Iraq, defusing improvised explosive devices… The first armed robot was deployed in Iraq in 2007… . Its mounted M249 machine gun can hit a target more than 3,000 feet away with pin-point precision.

Robots will not have emotion any time soon, but the people who operate them do.

It’s sooner than you think.

Watch this video of BigDog and imagine being stalked through the woods. Creepy, especially when you consider where the technology will evolve to over the next 5 to 10 years…
