Killer Robots

A group of German researchers thought it would be a good idea to arm robots with knives, teach them to stab and slice up humans, and then see what happens. If “knives and stabbing weapons” sounds familiar, that’s because it’s exactly what the killer robot from Terminator 2: Judgement Day had.

One way or another, the Terminators are coming. Check it out:

They have no fear, they never tire, they are not upset when the soldier next to them gets blown to pieces. Their morale doesn’t suffer by having to do, again and again, the jobs known in the military as the Three Ds – dull, dirty and dangerous.

We're apparently arming them now; It's only a matter of time…

This is straight out of RoboTech. Add some cool guns and armor and you'll get an idea of what our new robot overlords will look like. Note the remark at the end of the video about these things eventually being "autonomous". Great.
