Now if this isn’t scary I don’t know what is. All of a sudden the Terminator is real.
Singapore has launched a contest to build a robot that can operate autonomously in urban warfare conditions, moving in and out of buildings to search and destroy targets like a human soldier.The country’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) said on its website it is offering one million Singapore dollars (US$ 652,000) to the developers of such a robot that completes a stipulated task in the fastest time.
Now how in the hell is a robot going to determine who is good and who is bad. People can dress anyway they like, and there would be no way to estimate the threat of the human in the room. I just hope that they at least make the robots look like something out of a Hollywood movie rather than bland metal machines. I want faux flesh baby and animatronic faces with real expressions. They can call Walt Disney for more info on that one.
