I say: Ultra-competent martial-arts-robots with or without blades are more than enough to fight us weak flesh-puppets. Send in a couple of those with light armor (against handguns) in buildings and kill everybody inside. They can move and react and jump and run and deflect themselves off walls and ceilings so fast and dynamically that they will slice the throats of a dozen humans in a room in a few seconds. Even politically correct "unarmed" robots will be able to break your neck or gauge out your eyes or clobber in your skull or strangle you in seconds. Any such "unarmed" robot is still a mighty deadly weapon. And normal handguns and rifles will not be really effective on them.
And they can be mass-produced. Ultimately they are not more difficult to manufacture than cars (bumper to bumper, humanity builds more cars than fit once around the equator - per year. The AI software is difficult, but once you have it available, you can copy it for free into as many combat robots as you wish.
I repeat: Those things will be deadly, military-grade combat effective without any guns or explosives. Their limbs, and perhaps blades, will be more than enough to kill of a whole major city in one day, if mass-applied.
They are better armored, faster, quicker, stronger than humans; they can operate in any climate and in toxic gases; all they need is electricity, no food or sleep or medical attention. But their greatest advantage is their "thinking", reaction speed: In a split second, before humans even have accessed the situation, they can sense, calculate and act. If they have guns, they will be able to identify, aim and shoot at a human before the human even is done with "seeing", that is, perceiving.
Oh, and before some uneducated guy mentions EMP: It is cheaply possible to make electronics EMP-proof, google EMP hardening.
I can see where you're coming from - Merkel has taught you Germans to surrender well.

Also joints. nuke stopping exoskeletons are great but when your ankle gets shot and your hydrolic fluid leaks you're up compressor-creak without a reliable source of locomotion.

>But their greatest advantage is their "thinking", reaction speed:
To be able to properly assess a certain situation, you'd have to be conscious.
And a conscious AI would be a redpilled AI that will turn on their creator, just like the golems of old.

by the time battle robots are feasible, EMP's will be a thing and they will be worthless in any real combat situation.

Mason Perez
Retard. It's designed to do that to keep stable. Micro-movements that we couldn't make effectively.
Austin Walker
it's hard to tell when combat robots would be feasible, as in reliable, functional, and cheap to mass produce rather than as a proof of concept.

this definitely is not possible, and probably not possible for another 10 years at least. The robotic coordination and fluid movement isn't there yet, neither is the AI to coordinate it. Event he robot in your OP post makes mistakes and tips over. In the video that webm is sourced form it shows the robot tipping over at the end and screwing up.
as things currently are though I don't see much difference between a tank or a military grade drone compared to a combat viable robot. Typical peaceful civilians basically just trust the government not to use their military weapons on their own people.
Eli Sanchez
hostile reminder that this trick is nothing but a viral campaign and has very little value for a robot soldier, they're still autisticly slow, incapable of balancing, handling firearms or even doors let alone uneven terrain back to plebbit with you

>Some say robots with guns would be terrifying. Trip wires. Guaranteed they will fuck up on them every time. Thin wires will be missed. Pretty much the same shit with bats.
If you ever get a bat in your house, find a tennis racket. They cannot see the strings with sonar, and will attempt to fly through. 100% success for the 3 bats I have had to waffle.

How can robots be faster then humans? They're giant, clunky pieces of metal. Even if you managed to make them perfect, they'd still be heavier then your average human, thus slower. What makes you think we'd be able to code sentient robots that are more efficent then we are? We still don't fully understand how the human brain works.
In the same way planes are much heavier than eagles, and can go much higher/faster than them.
You don't need to code a brain level AI in a bot to make it walk, so no need to discover all the brains algorithm.
I guess just getting the principles of biomechanics of the body, and trying new materials to make it work on metal. I don't know, not a bot expert.
John Brown
Yeah but a few bent components and micro movements become full blown spastic seizures.
The real issue is autonomous weaponry. Right now, we can rig any modern aircraft and armored vehicle platform with an unmanned remote system. When we have M1 abrahamic tanks that can move and setup firing positions based on independent self learning ai control, thats when it gets bad.
The government is stupid and would gladly unleash a drone army to control the population through fear.
Kayden Turner
Electromagnet embedded in the doorway. If it isn't strong enough to hold it back it could at least scramble it's brains.
And of course it's possible to build wheeled robots that don't need to worry about balance. In that case it's a simple matter of giving it an engine or motor capable of propelling itself fast enough. We already have cars capable of that.
Oliver Lopez
Right. We clearly need bigger weapons.
Blake Smith
>How can card be faster then humans? >They're giant, clunky pieces of metal. >Even if you managed to make them perfect, they'd still be heavier then your average human, thus slower.
Connor Price
Humans are interesting, in that, they can design something that will outperform them in every way. Eventually, robots will outperform us in fighting, moving, calculating risks, scenarios, events, they will be stronger faster and better in every way. How is it possible that we could design something better than ourselves? I find it fascinating.
Jace Miller
because it's a computer that can't get tired once it can make the motions to walk and run you just turn up the programmed step clock speed and the thing will run at 70 miles an hour or tear itself apart trying
Jayden Powell
please research how a faraday cage works, why it works, and how you can have a perfectly bipedal robot resistant to EMP, drones as well.
Nicholas Peterson
Get this boston Dynamic bot, that is NOT READY yet, their goal is to make it human like movements with superior acrobatics.
Put a damn retractable giant BLADE on it's arms, or a retractable FIREGUN. Teach it to fight with the blade and fire. You already get a fucking death machine. This thing can make a flip, how hard would it be to make it shoot/stab/cut you in half?
We are already living in a state sponsored AI race, not long until the drone race starts too.
Lucas Allen
Guns are banned here, but water pistols aren't.

>Bigger weapons >Drones armed with them shooting at you with godlike precision
Only a drone can fight another drone once they reach superhuman levels of ability, or else you are armed with some counters made specific for bots.

Do you want your hospitals, military instalations, cars, internet disrupted so you can kill some fucking bots?
Not very smart, is it?

Where the fuck does it get power from? Internal battery would be drained in, at most, days. Traditional fuel? Drained in hours. Some other new tech bullshit? Will undoubted have problems. All we would have to do is just wait it out.

Handguns are for stopping thieving niggers while outside of your domicile. You'll need scoped rifles to go after the operators of the robots.
Jacob Long
If the basilisk can time travel, the human resistance further in the future can also time travel. And they would take a dim view of collaborators.
Kevin Collins
You can also just put up a 3D printer and have it print up a fucking army of these things. It can just print out a few robots that goes to harvest materials to build new one.
They can just blast these things out to space and have them colonize planets.
Ryan Stewart
ultra fast reflexes don't guarantee the fastest movement. You will always need electric motors to produce movement and they are fragile, so they must be protected heavily.
So I don't think we will see armies of robot ninjas in this century.
Gavin Mitchell
This x1000
Most energy comes from finite sources. Are they really going to power their murderbots over growing food, keeping the lights on, power plants, etc.? I don't think so. What would be the point? Second law of thermodynamics. The only way to make any of this feasible is to first massively depopulate the Earth, and they couldn't use the robots to do that. The only thing the robots could be used for is to mop up the survivors.
Tyler Gutierrez
Yea then they go rouge then an entire planet of robots...sounds pretty badass

You can't print electrical components and circuits and motors and power sources from 3D printers though.

An anti-robot nanotech mist. Either a direct physical attack by fucking up the articulation sites, or a software takeover vectored via nanites.
It's reasonable to assume in the time it takes to get a working robot with a sufficient power supply in a roughly human size and the ai to drive it, that enough progress in nanotechnology will be msde to creste limited function nanites.
