Futuristic Robot Soldier Video

That is from South Africa.

With the work the Japanese are doing something like that could be possible in 20 years or so. That would be ideal for peacekeeping missions/wars/policing/hazmat.
 
TETRA VAAL

Tetra Vaal is a spec commercial/corporate video created to put forth the idea of a robotic system of control that can function on its own, and make simple decisions. Shot in Johannesburg, South Africa, the eerie piece is designed to suggest the near future.

Footage shot in Johannesburg using a Canon GL1 and edited using Adobe Premiere. All visual effects were created using Lightwave 3-D and Photoshop and composited in Combustion.
 
I would assume that any sort of robot like that would have to be controlled by a human operator by some sort of VR interface. We have nothing like the AI capability to make it autonomous.

Very cool stuff, and I do not doubt we will see it in the decades to come.

Just think how far computers, AI, etc has come in the last 20 years. It will be absolutely incredible in another 20.
