RE: Centauro - This C3-PO AT-AT Robot Won’t Fall Over Ropes Around Its Legs
This robots looks weird and not really something I would like to have around. And particularly DARPA is creating some crazy stuff for the military. The Karate chops are funny but that's pretty much it. They will build war mahcines out of these things one day.
I’m not sure I care that much about its looks. I think for disaster response, especially in case of earthquake this bot may beat anything Boston Dynamics yet.
I would like to have that around in those situations. Its goal is also much less scary than a lot of what is currently being build for/by DARPA. Not long anymore now before bots (drone dogs) fully replace attack K-9 units on the field, especially in “don’t care about lethal impact” situations.
That reminds me of the latest Black Mirror episode with the endtime scenario where these dags roam the world and kill people. I am not paranoid when it comes to robots. I think they are awesome. But the problem is they are controlled by people and people are sadly not so awesome in many cases.
