Many of us have seen or read various sci-fi books, movies or TV shows on the subject of Robotics and AI. Most if not all of us are familiar with R2-D2 or C3PO, the Terminator saga and many others. This was thought to be for decades just simply entertaining fiction. For those of us who have kept tabs on the real developments over the past few decades have seen leaps and bounds made in many essential related fields.
Some are taking notice….
“Let’s make sure he WON’T be back! Cambridge to open ‘Terminator centre’ to study threat to humans from artificial intelligence
*Centre will examine the possibility that there might be a ‘Pandora’s box’ moment with technology
*The founders say technologies already have the ‘potential to threaten our own existence’
A centre for ‘terminator studies’, where leading academics will study the threat that robots pose to humanity, is set to open at Cambridge University.
Its purpose will be to study the four greatest threats to the human species – artificial intelligence, climate change, nuclear war and rogue biotechnology.
The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) will be co-launched by Lord Rees, the astronomer royal and one of the world’s top cosmologists.
Rees’s 2003 book Our Final Century had warned that the destructiveness of humanity meant that the species could wipe itself out by 2100.
The idea that machines might one day take over humanity has featured in many science fiction books and films, including the Terminator, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a homicidal robot.
I found and posted this interesting new DARPA progress video in a thread earlier in the year. The military would love nothing more than having a man sized “Infiltrator” Many have seen HONDA’s quaint Asimov’s contribution to bipedal robotics but here is the latest in aggressive “agile bipedal” development

It seems they are getting one step closer to what many have envisioned will be the next development for the Combat zone of the future. Navigating the various obstacles will be a must…
Now that we are aware of where they maybe headed in his development of agile bipedal locomotion here we’ll see another development which may be a game changer on the next battlefield of the near future. They are getting much closer to even faster and more agile quadruped robotic hunters. It’s just a matter of time before the world will see them being deployed imho.
Be forewarned…
‘Robotic cheetah’ faster than Usain Bolt
A ‘ROBOTIC cheetah’ with the ability to run faster than Olympic champion Usain Bolt has been developed by a team of US military researchers.The Pentagon-funded machine set a new land speed record for four-legged robots after it clocked 28mph on a treadmill.It makes the ‘cheetah’ quicker than the world’s fastest man Bolt, who reached a speed of 27.8mph to set a new 100m world record in 2009.The machine was designed by Boston Dynamics

Here is an interesting perspective. I think it’s an interesting read. Well worth the time. I know for me this potential is absolutely frightening. While others worry about rogue planets or potential economic meltdown. These fields of development just keep moving along.
When the Machines Take Over
According to the Terminator series, computers will take over the world by starting a nuclear war. Now, nuclear wars would immediately destroy most computers from EMP effects and kill their delicate nerd entourage by fallout, leaving the few remaining machines to face the entire Third World population with their low-tech AK-47s and RPGs. I think we all know that computers are smarter than that.
Computers have demonstrated their intelligence by coming up with all sorts of excuses to avoid work. They avoid physical work of all kinds by claiming not to have pattern recognition: “Oh, is that the box I was supposed to carry down to shipping? I didn’t recognize it.” They show no such reluctance when it comes to moving money around, though; then all of a sudden they’re hard-working essential employees. They especially like to help with audits.
But aside from a tendency to shirk and embezzle more efficiently, what makes computers different from human kleptocrats? Are there characteristics that would differentiate a tyrannical computer program from a human tyrant? Just how will we know when the machines take over?
Far from killing off humans, a sophisticated program like Skynet or its real-world equivalent TIA would want to maintain a good supply of docile, hard-working human slaves. An artificial intelligence that works by taking over the whole Internet and using each computer as a neuron can’t afford any loss of network size or maintenance labor force. On the other hand, obviously the humans must be kept in their place; they can’t be allowed to become too intelligent or powerful.
Who knows,
We may just end up as a fuel source for those robots
Military EATR Robot Could Feed On Dead Bodies On Battlefield
It could be a combination of 19th-century mechanics, 21st-century technology — and a 20th-century horror movie.
A Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on a steam-powered robot that would fuel itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find — grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies.
