[QUOTE]MOSCOW, May 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russian experts are developing robots designed to minimize casualties in terrorist attacks and neutralize terrorists, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Friday.
Robots could also help evacuate injured servicemen and civilians from the scene of a terrorist attack, said Rogozin, who oversees the defense industry.
Other antiterror equipment Russia is developing includes systems that can see terrorists through obstacles and effectively engage them in a standoff mode at a long distance without injuring their hostages, he said.
Rogozin did not say when the equipment might be deployed by Russia’s security and intelligence services.
Human Rights Watch has criticized fully autonomous weapons, known as "killer robots," which would be able to select and engage targets without human intervention and called for the preemptive prohibition on such weapons.
“Fully autonomous weapons do not exist yet, but they are being developed by several countries and precursors to fully autonomous weapons have already been deployed by high-tech militaries,” HRW said in a statement on its website. “Some experts predict that fully autonomous weapons could be operational in 20 to 30 years.”[/QUOTE]

Robot wars in 20-30 years? Better than human casualties, at least.

Since it's Russia we're speaking of, I'm not sure whether they're making [i]terrorist-killing[/i] robots or terrorist [i]killing robots[/i]...

Also so much for the three laws of robotics.
At least SOMEONE is trying to take care of the problem.
Looking at you America.

I love that short so much.
Robots that select and kill their targets autonomously.
Scary shit.
I came in here expecting someone to post a picture of a robot with an angry face saying "feed me chechens".
Facepunch I'm disappoint.

Okay, now they HAVE to use that as a primary design.

10 rubles says all the money for the project will be stolen and it will never be finished.

This is basically already the case, though.

Its time. My favorite part about that video is the further in you get, the more you start to realize these forces are in like New York or something and they are shooting at Apache's and abrams and NATO-ish troops. This video popped up some time last year on a russian cgi company youtube account, although since then the account holder has updated the description and commented with some russian text that google translate can't handle very well.
Some interesting pictures,
