This would be a couple orders of magnitude cooler if it wasn't murder technology specifically designed to make wars of aggression and killing of poor people politically easier to sell to the electorate. Like, when I see Japan present a robot that can lift grandma 10% faster that's kinda cool. This is just plain depressing and creepy.
dont worry it wont come to that



because trump buried reporting on drone strikes so we can just do that all day every day now and its not even a thought in peoples heads

legged military robots might be coming sooner than most people think, although the penny pinching brass have chosen to go with a much cheaper option than Boston Dynamics (and hence, less effective at dancing).

The ocean is calling and I must go

If they can move like this, then why do the videos of the dog bots patrolling parks etc make them look way clumsier and more unnatural?

Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.
We are dangerously close to pusher and shover robots becoming a reality.

A lot of that money just goes into the bank account of the guy who's friends with the politician that picks who gets the contract.

Isn’t Boston Dynamics the company that’s so unsuccessful they tried to sell useless robot dogs to rich idiots with an interface so complicated that only an engineer could even begin to understand it? Hire me as CEO, I’ll slap some turrets and rocket launchers onto these bad boys and makes some serious money!
