Don't worry everyone, our robo doggos will protect us.

*enslave you

>>507469850
They sure can.

>>507469774 (OP)
Does it have to fire and head back for a reload? Seems very shitty

>robo dog starts humping

Over the next eight thousand years, Robo doggos, flying murder drones, and similar, will evolve to become a large implementation of your thyroid gland in regards to the immune system your body uses to be immune to every disease and the ones you haven't seen yet.

You will not resist them unless you have some of your own, and the stronger one will survive.

Pilots to your glowing rectangles.

I'm pretty sure Boston Dynamics has refused to make any WEAPONIZED versions of their products. Some are used for law enforcement and military purposes, but they do not carry any weapons on them.

>>507469774 (OP)
Look how thin the legs are on this bitch. Couple rounds and it's just a brick

>>507471103
They will

>>507471146
Until then, they'll remain unarmed.

Pure PR department, the probability all of this robot tech is going to be used in a military context as soon as possible is 100%, and even if it isn't, the Government can counterfeit any quantity of money it pleases for any reason or no reason, and if you don't say yes to the suitcase full of money, you will be killed and your replacement will say yes. So the argument of: "oh no military technology we're good goys" is completely nonmaterial.

Its first use is going to be weapons technology.

>>507471103
They don't have to weaponize anything. All you need is a cheap FPV kit, servo motor and a metal clamp to turn it into Zoomers dream.

>>507471103
even if you slapped a gun on the dogs it would still be an impractical weapon.

>>507471254
Come to think of it, why don't they already put guns on regular dogs?

>>507471317
Because that's still impracticl.
As cool as sci-fi robots look, it's just humans imagining having complete control over a living thing.
We make robots to mimic life rather than take full advantage of the unlimited mechanical form.

>>507471451
Oh I'm not talking about controlling anything. Would just be cool to have a gun that shoots on a dog

>>507471590
I just wanted to extend my former post to go into the detail as to why Boston Dynamic dog bots aren't ever going to be weaponized.

Even their robot pack mule thing is kind of a meme.

>>507470006
M72 doesn't reload, it's single use only.
They just send a different dog, the taxpayers will cover it.

>>507469774 (OP)
Was hoping we'd have something like Velguarder or Blade wolf by now

>>507469774 (OP)
That looks great, but I feel like a heart attack thinking that thing may cost thousands of dollars only to likely get blown by a bomb or something. Hopefully they can be produced at a lower cost

Can someone post the video of the us vs Chinese parade? I want to show my mother so she can laugh at mutts.

>>507469774 (OP)
you can apply to the robotics grad program at ut austin if you think you can do better

That whole pic looks stupid. Boot camp trained you to break the tube of a LAW after using it, now they give them and electronic dogs to the enemy to play with?

>>507471236
Are you retarded? I said they are already used by law enforcement and the military, but they're not weaponized. They have sensors to detect chemicals and explosives. They have end effectors to investigate suspicious devices. They're used in many similar ways to actual dogs in that they patrol an area. They are not weaponized nor would they probably be very useful in that context.

>require expensive, non-expendable professional soldier to fire a LAW

>LAWs are old inventory, cheap and easy to mass-produce as well
Imagine a dozen of these ambushing a mechanized column, it'd be a massacre.

>>507471254
What if they put a spear on them? Have you seen the videos of how they can’t be knocked over? Just a never ending walking death spear.

Imagine a spider like robot with thermal imaging and a grenade for a thorax, set to explode once in range of a hot object.

>>507475190
Just use the existing manipulator arm to rip people's nuts off

>>507475190
>They can't be knocked over
Has Boston dynamics released info on how much power they can store? Because if it can't beat an humans endurance to keep knocking it over, it's shit.

It's also not cost effective.

We're at the point of using the most an "AI" could accomplish with drones.
Drones swarms can basically do everything, no need to design Metal Gears or Mobile Suits. Sorry that's just cool fantasy shit that will never be practical.

China should built mecha godzilla anyway
