Army of Robots! DoD Bidding ‘Multi-Robot Pursuit Systems’
The Defense Department is bidding a “Multi-Robot Pursuit System” — and two companies have already created new military robots.
One robot from Boston Dynamics carries a 340-pound load (and can roll across rubble). And Massachusetts-based iRobot has actually mounted stun weapons on its robots.
The Defense Department’s Request for Proposals now specifies that it now wants to “enable teams of robots to search for and detect a non-cooperative human subject.”
