I understand the great uses you can get out of these. However, I still find them menacing looking and sounding. I wouldn't feel 100% comfortable around me. Although it would probably fun to make elaborate plans to trip one of those things. IDK. Seriously though, some wacky ass robots. Strange days for sure.
Yep. The exoskeletons are coming along nicely. I think it's cool how the intent is to have the suits to operate off of AI or RC there's no human operator. They just need to figure out an efficient way for them to be powered. Real life firebats, here we come.
As for the weapon based platforms on MUA's... were you talking more on the lines of something mobile or stationary?
Robotics are awesome in general and I can see why the strong attempts to integrate them into warfare is happening. Maybe I'm playing too many video games, but what's stopping someone from just EMPing (or something with a similar effect) to disable these machines out on the field? Then your phreaking phucked.
Did this help you understand your situation?
