Pentagon-funded Atlas robot refuses to be knocked over
Full article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24427821 Destroy this now while you still can or it will be too late   "Meet Atlas, a humanoid robot capable of crossing rough terrain and maintaining its balance on one leg even when hit from the side. And WildCat, the four-legged robot that can gallop untethered at up to 16mph (26km/h). These are the latest creations of Boston Dynamics, a US robotics company part-funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). The robots are part of Darpa's Maximum Mobility and Manipulation programme. Darpa says such robots "hold great promise for amplifying human effectiveness in defence operations". Referring to Atlas's ability to remain balanced despite being hit by a lateral weight, Noel Sharkey, professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield, told the BBC: "This is an astonishing achievement... quite a remarkable feat."

Cool robot.
The problem with these is the amount of power they need just to do simple tasks. |

This will get scary soon.
Think about it for a moment. Eventually robots will be fighting our battles for us. No need to send live men into combat when we can control them from hundreds of miles away. Then take it to the next step... Terrorists and small countries will never be able to afford this kind of stuff. Only rich countries will have this.
