Pentagon plans Robot Armies for non-cooperative humans

The Pentagon has issued a request to its contractors to develop a new Multi-Robot Pursuit System that is able to "search for and detect a non-cooperative human." This basically means robots have been built in order to hunt down humans just like a pack of dogs - good thing to programme such a complicated piece of software won't take just a few months, but probably many years down the road. These robots are also tipped to be equipped with human detection and tracking devices in order to aid their task. Other than the fact that this might lead to the MGS4 "Gekko" one day, I guess it is time we started to be good law-abiding citizens lest Uncle Sam unleashes such a technological beast on us in a sign of his wrath.

I Robot has now partnered with Taser to equip its robots with non-lethal weaponry for Military and Domestic law enforcement.

even the smartest robot has an intelligence comparable to a lobotomized, retarded cockroach. I would be alot easier and cheaper to hone a hunting dog into the scent of the "unpatriotic" pheromone.

While it's comforting to know that these little robots could save a soldiers life, it is scary t think what would happen if the enemy would capture 1 to disect and mass produce.

As far as being used for local law enforcement applications, again I can see how in some instances it would be beneficial however if misused I would think that would be quite disasterous.

Anyone remember the Terminator movies?

Well it would be easier for soldiers to pull the trigger on there fellow civilians, if they were controlling a drone. Think about it, it'd be just like a game on the old Sexbox 360... except you know, REAL.

I cant wait for this.!

If you look at the Pak Bots they are actually controlled by a Playstation controller. It definitely would make for a sur-real experience when operating one...just like a game.
