Speaking of robots ...

ITEM [via Warren Ellis]: The Department of Defense has put out a call: design a pack of robots to "search for and detect a non-cooperative human subject."
 
Each robot has to weigh 100 kilograms or less, act autonomously (with a human squad leader), negotiate obstacles, and provide immediate feedback. Here’s the fun part:

The robots would report back to a human operator, and defer to that human when the robot AI determines that a "difficult decision" is required.

Genius. What could possibly go wrong?



Open season,
