It cost 3.2 million for production of an early version of a Predator UAV. Now we're talking somehting with AI here, alongside the mechanical body...This would be fucking expensive.
[QUOTE=chronochicke;16032170]Robots are a great idea but all technology has bugs, and we can't have a robot like the one in robocop going around killing civilians

ED-209 was designed to fail though.
I'd rather they build stuff like dreadnoughts. Much cooler and no need for AI.

Ok now I understand. But it's not enought anyway.

Because you want a chobits robot to sex up.

Race over, I just won.
This is stupid, robots don't have what makes humans more superior to them in combat. Things like intuition, knowing from right from wrong, etc.

So they want Transformers.

Except humans are squishy, with easily damaged organs, a tendency to crack under pressure, fatigue, a need for sleep, the ability to disobey orders, and a lack of optimization for combat roles. You don't want humans on the line constantly, you want them controlling from afar or inside something safe.
This would be really easy if all infantry wore an IFF transmitter, now that I think about it.

All the more reason that they'd be the perfect soldier.
Couldn't you have a robot with a heat sensor that simply shoots wherever it detects heat that is like a human body?
[QUOTE=News]Further grants of up to $US750,000 would be available to finalists who could produce a working prototype by next year.[/QUOTE]
Next [i]year[/i]!? That's fucking impossible! We haven't even been able to come close to building a proper AI! It should take at least 10 years of an absolute MINUMUM for them to even begin to discover a breakthrough.
[QUOTE=ChaosUnleash;16040967]Couldn't you have a robot with a heat sensor that simply shoots wherever it detects heat that is like a human body?[/QUOTE]
That would kill everything. Even civilians. Also, it's easy to throw off a heat sensor nowadays.

That would be all fine and dandy until you realize that you and your buddies are also exothermic meatbags.
[QUOTE=ChaosUnleash;16040967]Couldn't you have a robot with a heat sensor that simply shoots wherever it detects heat that is like a human body?[/QUOTE]
Would work great until the enemy finds out how to pick it up and throw it back.
I really like this idea actually. Keep people home instead of sending them out to be killed in roadside explosions. I really wish none of that was necessary at all and instead we were building robots for other purposes, but I guess it will always be our nature to kill, kill, kill.
I don't see any reason to fear robots. Japan doesn't. North America has this negative attitude towards robots, specifically with AI, whereas Japan seems to embrace them as helpful tools and probably even friends somewhere down the road.
They would most likely be controlled by a person like they do with EOD Robots that disarm bombs and UAV's.
Don't worry about a robot invasion.

I think that discovering how to build a sentient computer would be the biggest technological breakthrough in human history. I can't wait until somebody actually figures out how to construct one, but I'll probably not even see it in my lifetime.
Its gunna cost more then 1.2 mil to build one
It may take a few billion before we start seeing these on the streets in afghanistan.
Lemme put it this way, if you had an objective that involved blowing up a big building which would cause lots of innocent people to die, the human would notice and not follow his orders on the grounds of it being immoral to destroy one building with terrorists in it and killing lots of civilians in the process.
The robot on the other hand wouldn't notice that fact and go "ENEMY SIGHTED, EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!" and blow up the terrorists and the civilians with no remorse.
I don't want that in our future army.
America will get it first. We have experience in these things.
Sorry Aussies.

We already have brainwashing for that. At this with this we don't have to make kids stupid and glorify the military anymore.
