>Multi-billions in advanced programming research has now given us a robot that can jump over obstacles with roughly the same efficiency a 7 year old boy

Until they can tell friend from foe, lead and hit targets with mathematical accuracy, use advanced tactics and operate for months with no need for maintenance then I will not be impressed.

>implying robot child soldiers aren't the way of the future

Actually any robot soldier is a child soldier because odds are most will be under 18 years old from their creation date before being used. That is if they are ever used

>>615561

It doesnt really matter if it can perform at a teenager climing ability. If it can sustain itself for hours on end more than your regular soldier, its already proven to be better. The only thing now is shooting and identifying targets.

>>615573

If you're using it as a terror weapon then target identification can be skipped.

>>615577

Flying drones cant capture a city and hold it, let alone go around executing the enemy and raping them, and injecting them with some biological warfare.

>>615579

More importantly: flying drones can't enforce laws besides "We saw you doing illegal shit from the sky, now we missile you and anyone standing around you".

You need people on the ground to enforce the laws you are trying to implement to actually capture a place.

An automated weaponized four wheeler can't drive into a house, drag out the inhabitants and jail them or execute them in the streets without blowing up the building.

This prototype is obviously running off batteries. And I don't think all those gyros, sensors, and motors make for a good lifetime on any modern battery. Unless you supply every unit with a diesel electric generator, you will run into power density issues. Give a soldier some ration bars, and water and he can march from Paris to Moscow (as Napoleon's troops have already proven).

>you will never see robots and men fight eachother to the death in an arena

>you will never watch a webm of a combat robot initiating close quarters melee combat subroutines and override it's servos for maximum retard strength

>>615586

No

>>615581

Sure you can give ration bars to them, but soldiers still take time to train, while you can mass produce these "robotic" soldiers and they will be trained in their programing so they will be able to shoot, climb, and kill as well as the programing is. If one robot dies, it can forever be replaced with another one. Lose 1, build another 10.

Sure you get the costs, time to build but eventually it will reach a point where its cheaper and better to make these robots and employ tactics that you normally couldn't with human soldiers.

You know the rules. 34

There must be porn of DARPA tin cans struggling to jack off some general to not get their program cancelled.

>>615558

What are the chances that it's being controlled by some guy off screen?

Fucking wallrunning bots in no time.

The niggers are fucked when we unleash this shit on them.

>>615614

It's a pre-set obstacle course, they put the obstacles there, then program the robot what muscles to activate at exact times to run the course. Then they fail about 10000 times before making a video with the one time it did work.

If you putt a tiny marble in its path it would crash and burn 100% of the time.

This is more to showcase the physical power, not coordination or intelligence.

Why do you think this is impossible to do in a forest? The fuck is that a counterargument…

>>615634

Because you can accurately place all the snow on the ground, right? That snow clearly didn't have 10,000 previous footprints on it.

You may live long enough to see your /k/ommando robowaifu - if technology like this becomes common in the future:

>>615966

The only difference between a forest and >>615558 is that they don't have to manually move obstacles in its way, they just scan the path with the same method, tag it with softness/physics values, and let the program tell the robot how to run it.

I don't get why you think snow is an issue.

>>616041

Because that's not what you were saying in your first post dismissing the technology, and I consider your summary there to be backtracking. If you had originally said something along those lines it wouldn't have been something worth arguing about. What you said above is that they run it across the track and microadjust for walking mechanics like some high school robotics class, and then record the one time it successfully completed the course.

are these EMP-proof?
