KILLBOTS VISUALIZED

Woods does an awesome job of retro-future killbot visualization:

THE FUTURE OF KILLBOTS

Noah turns in a damn good inside baseball piece on the competition for the next generation of killbots. Kind of reminds me of that movie, Tucker:

Ward had been a Negotiator fan since June 2006, smitten by its easy-to-use controller, its sharp-eyed camera, and, of course, its minuscule price tag. "It changed the whole perspective on what robots could cost. This was dramatically different, an order of magnitude different, from what we had seen," one military official says. "It had the potential of changing the whole landscape of robotics."

ANIME OR REALITY

Followed this link from Gizmodo to the Macroswiss homepage:

They sell little spybots; but I can't be sure if they sell real products or if they're promoting a new RPG.

At least they're ISO9001 compliant. That's got to count for something.

KILLBOTS DOGS

All I can say is damn. Kill the noise and slap some warpaint on to scare the tribes and you have got a winner here.

Pinched from Wired.

FLIGHT OF THE KILLER BEE

Sweet.

COMBAT CELL PHONES

Closer yet:

In addition to being completely autonomous, Crusher can be remotely controlled thanks to a hacked together Iphone and Xbox 360 interface. The Iphone can receive vehicle updates while the Xbox controller can steer and fire the weapons.

CURRENT KILLBOTS

Stars and Stripes.

Makes sense the US would look towards killbots. We are not numerous, in the grand scale of things.

The fun and the fury

I share Gizomdo's wonderment: Killbot video from Disney Imagineer.

Convrgence: coming soon to a world near you.

Automatic for the People

I am intrigued by the advances in robotic technology, especially the killbot variants. I wonder to what extent a mature robo-industrial complex would allow us to withdraw from the realm.

Robo-Tank

Grunts buy robo-planes

Just kicking around themes.

Best in (Unmanned) show

You've truly arrived when you get your own airshow.

UAV p0rn, again from Danger Room.

Navy Goes Robotic

I'm endlessly fascinated by the proliferation of armed robots. Via neatorama, looks like the Navy is getting into the business.
