No amount of "combat pay" would entice me to be around that "thing" during a live-fire exercise. Some of those guys came within inches of the line of fire after someone clobbered it with a shovel or hockey-stick. It would be just my luck that a sensor, programmable controller or other interior component would be mis-aligned just enough to make me a "friendly-fire" casualty.
Thanks for sharing the video. We've come a long way in robotics, Artificial Intelligence, pattern recognition and target acquisition. Wish we'd had a brigade of those things on Normandy's beaches. I wonder if the "thing" can swim?
