I, Robot , I Soldier.

What's the difference? A computer does pattern recognition, when it identifies a pattern that is a 'valid target', it attacks.

First thing I thought after having read the first post was:

'whenever taking a GPS, take a compass with you in case you run out of juice'

I think this also applies to robot-warfare. It takes one EMP to take them all down.
I do believe robotic-support like exoskeleton-loadouts will be put to use in a matter of years.

As I've said above, we've already gone past it, with fire and loiter missiles. The missiles 'loiter' looking for a target and attacking automatically.

Which system are your referring to please?

 

[mrcharly]

They already exist. Cruise missiles that loiter, using on-board gear to identify targets. Primarily designed to attack vehicles.

Drones making a rope bridge - I was happy that a non- lethal application has been found

now I'm thinking, send a few off ahead of me on a walk and my camp will be made with tarp and hammock already setup, kettle boiling and dinner on

Those are interesting but apparently they still require a remote pilot; not really A.I. just yet.

I know there are also plans to use them to 'plant' trees over mountainous terrain for replanting.

Interesting times.

In all wars it's the local populations who suffer.

Forget the robots, give the Politicians a spear and a knife and tell them to sort it out.

...... and the rotten b****** who make money out of war! and for the same payment a soldier receives.....

Why on earth would we let politicians and businessmen have the fun?

because they're the ones who start wars and benefit from them-- but "" strangely"" leave the fighting, bleeding, dying and suffering to others...

Yes, exactly. I was one of the "others" who doesn't want them horning in. They get paid well enough for what they do; leave the adventure to those of us who actually enjoy it and signed up for it.

 

[forrestdweller]

i was one of the "others", too once upon a time-- and i didn't volounteer for it (read: i got drafted as a conscript into the military of what's not ​my country.....); fortunately not into combat, although i was offered to go overseas for or peacekeeping -- but despite the considerably higher payment I declined for various reasons....

I don't know if anyone is into this stuff but I'll carry on posting what i deem to be interesting Vids and posts here.

The latest YT vid I found shows some pretty nifty balancing by the robot.

I havent read the whole thread, but on a related note, I read that by 2050 there will be 10 billion of us, and depending on which country you live in, 50% to 90% of the workforce will be replaced by automation. I think France are considering giving everyone benefits in some sort of system.

Thing about Humans is, if they have them, they'll use them. Nasty future...Be like Elysium! Or maybe AI will take over. Wipe us all out.
