Kind of freaky.

The Army next March will begin to deploy Talon robots from Waltham, Mass.-based Foster-Miller. The robots will be mounted with M240 or M249 machine guns, said a Foster-Miller spokesman. The units also can be mounted with a rocket launcher. Defense agencies have been testing an armed version of the Talon since 2003.

Why is there a link in that story that links back to the same story? I've been clicking the "In other news" picture half way down the article several times in a row because I'm bored.

That one sucked. It had a data port on it's foot that can be hacked and complete control gained with a simple PDA.

You guys have no idea what we are capable of...working in the AF Research Lab rules.

the machine gun-mounted Talon won't be autonomous.

I guess you could say its a step in that direction, but its still has a human brain operating it so....

Because we're all stuck in a bad sci-fi movie and it's not in the script.

its estimated that the total computing power on the planet will surpass the total brain power of all humans in 2030, and at or soon after that point, computers will be in charge of designing and manufacturing themselves, and will exponentially explode in thier amount of power.

I think it's time we start developing our own brain power. Get your kids out of public school!!!!!
