Boston Dynamics: Robots Now Fight Back.

Great video showing Boston Dynamics robots fighting back. Is this the future?

It is difficult to predict exactly when robots will be used as police officers and soldiers, as this will depend on a number of factors, including technological advancements, regulatory considerations, and societal attitudes.

However, there are already a number of examples of robots being used in military and law enforcement contexts, although they are typically used in a support role rather than as primary operators. For example, robots are used for bomb disposal, surveillance, and reconnaissance in military operations, and for bomb disposal and hazardous material response in law enforcement.

As technology continues to advance, it is likely that robots will be able to perform more complex tasks and play a larger role in military and law enforcement operations. However, there are also likely to be ethical and legal considerations to address before robots are used in these roles.

“Let’s start with the three fundamental Rules of Robotics…. We have: one, a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. And three, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.” ~Isaac Asimov
