Why put a real life officer in harms way, when we can put a machine who can take whatever punishment the criminals give it, and then some all the while coming out unscathed? Or, at least repairable.

The same will eventually happen to the military as well. No longer will humans be put in the way of harm, but machines.

It's the next logical step. We already have various UAV's and unmanned ground vehicles.

But like you, I share the concerns about what could happen if we replace a human operator behind the machine with an A.I. which will think on their own.

You could almost write a book about it. The machines could think us inferior and "outdated", believing us to be a waste of space. Cold calculation without any human feelings could lead to a mass slaughter of "outdated humans" to make space for more efficient machines.

Yes, there are plenty of positives for sure. I just hope that we keep these machines controlled by humans as opposed to giving them their own minds to think.

Yeah...I didn't find that out until later. It was still pretty cool though and very realistic.

I've been watching this progress for about 2 years. There's much more to find if you plug "military robots" into the search engine. Here is a video compilation of "bots" that are presently available or soon to be. The more "autonomous" they make them, the more we have to worry. (in my opinion.)

Here is a promotional video for a gadget that would work great with "Robo donkey" www.youtube.com...#

In response to the biomass fuel system, or Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR)...
Anyone notice how the acronym for it would be pronounced "eater" o.O?
