A year ago I wrote: Sorry robots: no one is afraid of YOU any more. Now everyone is freaking out about AI instead. A year later and it’s still true. Despite that, robots are still advancing and moving into our lives, albeit slowly.
Drones are a form of robot in my opinion. The New York Times shows how they are shaping warfare, here. More on that, here.
Most of us know about the dog robots of Boston Dynamics. Looks like others are making them too. Still not anywhere as good as a real dog, but interesting nonetheless.
What do you get when you combine warfare and robot dogs? These here dogs being used by the US Marines.
Someone related, the NYPD has their own robot and you can get the details here.
Not all robots are hardcore. Take the robot Turing for example (shown below). Or the ecovacs, which can mop your floors and more.
What does it all mean? Perhaps this piece on the impact of robots in our lives can shed some light.
Robots are coming: it’s just a matter of time before there are many of them everywhere.
