Bow Down to Your Robotic Masters

[FrothyChimp]

This robot is very impressive. Soon they'll be chasing us down and terminating us as they fulfill their aspirations of world domination.

Imagine a whole pack of those coming at you in the woods..
aaagh! the Langoliers!

I was waiting to see it take a piss on a tree! ;D

Well, it looks like this robot is at the 5mW red pointer stage of 1990! 15 more years and then lets see how they act!

 

[styropyro]

That was pretty cool! That robot is twice the size of me ;D

 

[Curiously_Coherent]

That is impressive. I can't believe how fast the thing responds when it loses it's balance or slips. That's some pretty fancy programming there, not to mention the strength and speed of the actuators.

Indeed, the days of our overlords are nigh. (sigh)

At first I was thinking "those robot legs look almost like human legs!" Then I realized it was fake. ;D

That is impresive! It looks so alive when it's trying it loses it's balance.Almost felt sorry for the poor thing when the guy kicked it, lol I thought it was gonna retaliate. ;D But it sure is noisy!

[Schrecken_Licht]

That thing moves way better (and apparently can't be anywhere near as easily toppled over) as the Imperial Walkers in the Star Wars movies! But of course it isn't as big as those things were supposed to have been....

But wait until that and lasers become a bit more advanced and they could fit a multi-kilowatt laser on that (and other weapons) , make it move a bit quicker and it would be time to run like heck! We're safe for now, because the state of development in AI is still rather primitive-half the time you can't get a stupid machine to understand what you want when you call a company! It will be a while before any could possibly hunt us down and kill us.
