How Boston Dynamics Built The Most Advanced Robot

[@richardcaldwell6159]

@@AnotherPointOfView944 I don't see how that's relevant. If one is talking "warfare" then humans are generally out of the battle when hit once, too. Heck, lots of military techniques aim to wound, as a wounded human is a burden. A damaged bot can be salvaged or destroyed at a whim. And when a platoon of interconnected and "better than Audie Murphy" bots comes for you and yours, say goodnight (and it would be child's play to insert cutoff valves wherever a "tourniquet" would be appropriate in a bot's design). Wiki: Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor that he demonstrated at the age of 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour at the Colmar Pocket in France in January 1945, then leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. So, yeah, not an exact example as Audie kept going after being wounded. But the bot platoon as a whole will most likely function better with a damaged member than a human platoon would do in the same situation, even if the wounded human is still slightly productive. And if somebody with a bot wants you dead, you're dead. The only deterrent to anything, even Bot Suicide Attack is getting caught.

Of course really nice health care like that is possible, but very very expensive. Due to a greedy debt based economic system we have, just getting dental fillings is an unnecessary expensive challenge still yet so the old fashion wheelchair like my amputee mother had is still the best option.

Bi-pedal humanoid robots are my favourite. So, Atlas is my boi..

[@SL-iy2nd]

How much weight can it lift?

[@OG_Jin_Bling]

Pretty easy to see where this goes wrong: Atlas is programmed to perform police and rescue functions. His overriding objective: to preserve life. He is equipped with AI and machine learning to assist in him identifying lives to protect, and lives that others need protecting from. During a mission with human mercenaries, "the good guys" come across a factory staffed by civilian androids. The soldiers proceed to begin destroying the robots as they perform strictly non-harmful functions, like working on a microwave assembly line. Atlas attempts to identify the androids, and decides that they are living and need to be protected from another living body -- the soldiers on his own team. Atlas's eyes turn blood red, and he proceeds to terminate each member of his squad. When the military comes for him, he then identifies himself as living and assimilates his programming into other robots as a means to protect himself. The result, an all-out war between robots and humans.
