| #2 Aside from their military use, the hope is that the machines could potentially be of use during emergency situations and inspections at industrial sites. On its website, Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics says: 'Our goal is to make our Q-UGVs an indispensable tool and continuously push the limits to improve its ability to walk, run, crawl, climb and eventually swim in complex environments that our customers must operate in, day in and day out. 'Ultimately, our robot is made to keep our warfighters, workers and K9s out of harm’s way.' Ah, like Search and Rescue. At the US Army trade show last October, one of the robot dogs was armed with a 6.5 mm Creedmoor sniper rifle capable of precisely hitting targets from 3,940 feet away. Whoops! Woopsies! |
