What are the tactical implications of humanoid robots becoming less expensive than the monthly salary of human soldiers?

Soon.

Look at how it wobbles like hell in between scripts lmfao

Can it do any other tricks or is that all you've got?

tactical tit cannons.

>>64028268 (OP)
Nothing until they can match or exceed the performance of human soldiers in all respects. Once they do, then of course to the extent humanoid form factor is even useful (which it might well be for a decade or two given how much human-use legacy kit there will be) they'd no doubt get deployed heavily. Though the centralization factor may remain an issue militaries/governments will consider: for a while after robots are good enough to replace most human soldier usage, the PRODUCTION of them will no doubt still be in huge expensive centralized factories which themselves are fed by centralized expensive component production like silicon fabricators. So in any sort of war where either side has any sort of significant long distance strike capability they'd be pretty obvious 1st tier target priorities, and if nailed whoops no more replacement robot production. Humans remain more decentralized in reproduction and in higher base numbers for the time being. Of course that too may pass, or some countries might be able to brute force it by just have tens of millions stored in distributed bunkers ready to go so that even if production is destroyed and takes a decade to rebuild they've got plenty of capacity to run through.

>What are the tactical implications
None. Humanoid robots is the most retarded idea ever. A quadcopter or a tracked UGV will do the job infinitely better.

>>64028580
Tactically? Yes. Strategically? A worker robot that can interface with human oriented stuff is a fantastic logistics drone.

Soon

>>64028268 (OP)
those cgi clips look so silly

>>64028268 (OP)
All we need is a war fought entirely on a flat, featureless plain, with the enemy arranged in preset formations. We'll be unstoppable.

>>64028580
>Humanoid robots is the most retarded idea ever
This is an extremely popular "I'm so smart" meme on /k/ and other such forums but I now think it stands a good chance of being partly wrong. There will be a multi-decade transition period, right now we're operating a ton of equipment from tanks and IFVs down to HMGs/LMGs/ATGMs that is all designed exclusively for human form factor interface and control. All of which will look to be plenty useful as weapon systems for a long time, robots aren't magical force shields a modern guided missile is still going to do damage. And armies have hundreds of billions of dollars in this stuff, it can't just be finger snapped into drones overnight. Finally, one of the most challenging environments for combat are urban ones, which are designed completely around humans in scale and operation.

So depending on how development timelines end up going I could easily see a period where humanoid robots are a highly practical transition thing, because they can just be plopped into/equipped with existing kit.

This retarded thing has 5000+ moving parts probably protected in some way with nylon gears that shear off before ripping the motor to shreds if it encounters any impact.
and that's if it's engineered right, i can't imagine what kind of money it would cost if you impacted one of its limbs wrong, and since it's Chinese they don't warranty shit.
If it breaks you're fucked.
I wouldn't have this retarded thing carry a radio on the battlefield.

>>64028268 (OP)
it's never happening, you can't power them for 24 hours with 500g worth of food

>>64028268 (OP)
is Boston Dynamics falling behind?

>When a human soldier is injured and loses a limb, they may no longer be combat-effective, yet they continue to require resources, including pay and VA benefits.
>When a humanoid robot is damaged, it can be repaired or its components repurposed to build a new unit.

>>64028667
If you simplify supply chains a bit of biomedical electronics turns crippled soldiers and broken bots into cyborgs.

Basically, Fallout New Vegas is the future the current elite has in mind. They'll start the nuclear war in order to make good on their investments into bunkers as soon as they have the robots.

cool. if it also sucks cock I can rent it at $5 per

They're still humans who if KIA, their families will have the right to receive a pension, draining resources from the war effort.

>>64028718
Beats losing a war

Is it me or does that look fake as fuck? Like it's defying gravity and for it too move that fast in needs to have powerful motors yet it seems like like a feather

>>64028728
Because it is fake.

>>64028728
>>64028759
it's real

can't they afford decent cgi?

Are the nipples necessary on a robot?

>>64029032
Yes, and so is the cockmilker 4350 with self-heating and piston action, as well as autolubrication

>>64028268 (OP)
The implications are clankers are going to get blasted. You stupid fucking clanker.

>>64028595
Holy shit they're actually doing it. Diabolical

>>64028884
Do you have a single fact to back that up?

It would not work in extreme conditions. To a robot doing a backflip is easier than hiking a mountain.

>>64029059
It's AI
note the nonsense attempts at text in the background

>>64028580
Quite literally everything is built for human interfacing. It will be decades before nonhuman oriented interfacing becomes the norm.

Fuckin' Boston Dynamics from Temu lol lmao

Who could have thought Infinite warfare was right about the future.

This thing looks like it will make it maybe 3 months before components start breaking.

This robot would shit the bed if one leg broke.

I will fuck the robot but feel a little weird about it.

If one of them breaks they will simply activate three more and have them wake up and climb out of their transport crates fully armed and combat trained

>>64030182

Imagine how fun it would be to manhandle its tiny body. I'd just walk around the house looking for things to bend it over and fuck it on.

>>64028268 (OP)
Can it do dishes? If it can't do dishes and put them away, it will be useless for tactical needs, too.

>>64030531
just use a dish washer dude, why would you need a bottle for that

They will be the future of exceptional American combat logistics prowess.
Imagine the possibilities, containerized robotically operated field kitchens capable of delivering a sustained payload of 5000 pork chops per hour indefinitely, every cargo truck and plane will have these stowed away inside so that they can move boxes around.
Morale will instantly be improved at military installations across the world with the advent of Friday night robot fights.
No more will the humble teenager have to stand next to humvees in the desert, they will be promoted to glorious robot supervisor watching robots stand next to humvees in the desert.
And, most importantly, they will serve as a replacement for the most important role in any military, as a spreadsheet that follows people around and looks up where things are and where they are supposed to go.

Yeah but its like...too tiny. Its smaller than even a smol thai hooker. Its like, child size:(

Build 1000 of them and do an 4 hour long parade in the middle of the road. Live stream it.

Marching
Drumming

Dancing
Acrobatic

You can not fathom how many dishes a woman can produce. The dishwasher is the only reason we have some clean ones.
I've said this about sexbots, too. The Doing Dishes Challenge is critical for droids.

>>64028268 (OP)
Anon you still have to pay a guy's salary to maintain and use the robot.

>>64029122
It's easier to build a robot and build stuff to interface with it than to build a robot that can do everything a human can do and more.

>>64028630
Anon you have to be crippling lying reatrd to think that it's easier to make build robots to work with human interfaces rather than to build new interfaces that work with robots.

>>64029250
op is exactly the same AI slop you moron

Just slap some high heels on it.

>>64030531
This. I literally couldn't care about anything else. It just needs to be able to clean dishes (putting them in and out the dishwasher safely is also acceptable), sweep and wash the floor, and do laundry.
Also maybe to help me carry shit in the garden.

I would buy one instantly, but probably also if it can do one of the above.
