DARPA's top secret humanoid robot

Sunday, November 02, 2008 at 2:59 AM Posted by Awesom-o

Earlier today I received the following video sent to me by one of my contacts deep inside DARPA. The video shows the top secret military robot that has been in development for at least 10 years; it is a collaborative effort among MIT, CMU, and Stanford universities. The video shows a live trial of the robot (notice the clearly visible machine gun.) Rumor has it that these robots are nearing completion and several will be deployed in IRAQ in early 2009.

Depends on how deadly you want your robot to be!

I am highly against using guns in robots. However, this is a shell around a human. The robot is to give the human extra strength, hence the reason they are using a kid for the demo. I am ok with it only because it still requires a human to make the judgment call. It does scare me in the direction we are heading.
