ROBOTS - how to replace humanity?

Obedience guaranteed!

Boston Dynamics proudly develops its robots but claims that they won’t produce a robot as a weapon. However, they are used by the military for burden bearing duties and there is always the possibility that DARPA or others might adapt these inventions for nefarious activities like planting explosive devices, aiming Directed Energy Weapons or producing electro-magnetic frequencies for active denial to persons.

Note: BigDog, quadruped robot was created by Boston Dynamics with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that is capable of traversing varied terrain and maintaining its balance on ice and snow.

Boston Dynamics likes to create videos which amuse too:

We can buy robotic pets - no feeding and no vets bills! What is not to like? 🙄

We have all seen robotic vacuum cleaners buzzing around floors in films and adverts.

Are there robotic lovers? OK…. let’s not go there, I am starting to see that flesh and blood is becoming redundant!

Are you fascinated by the future of robotics? Or does it worry you?
