Korea To Build Front-line Combat Robot

Posted by Zonk on from the johnny-5-gets-a-gun dept.

christchurch wrote to mention the story of a plucky Korean robot that has been built for combat. From the article: "According to design blueprints released during a meeting of science-related ministers, the robot will have six or eight extendable legs with wheels allowing it to move like an insect over uneven terrain. The robot will be armed with various weapons and will operate both by remote control and its own artificial intelligence system"

    Are there any bots out there that are designed to shoot people?
    Yes, my aimbot is capable of clearing out a room of them.

    I've noticed a lot of people welcoming pretty much anything as an overlord. In fact, there's so many, it's as if they're taking over Slashdot.

    And may I be the first to welcome our new "welcomes everything as a new overlord" overlords. May your reign be long and prosper--aw, crap, it's over.

    They already welcomed someone else as our new overlords.
