They are here, they aren't by-products of Hollywood Sci-Fi anymore. Be aware that they will be self-aware and because the main use will be Military, this all adds up to one Helluva future techno-mess.

FEMAs "Big Dog Robot by Boston Dynamics has the following specs: Hardware Big Dog is powered by a two-stroke, one-cylinder, 15-HP go-kart engine operating at over 9,000 RPM. The engine drives a hydraulic pump, which in turn drives the hydraulic leg actuators. Each leg has four actuators (two for the hip joint, and one each for the knee and ankle joints), for a total of 16. Each actuator unit consists of a hydraulic cylinder, servovalve, position sensor, and force sensor. Onboard computing power is a ruggedized PC/104 board stack with a Pentium 4 class computer running QNX.[5]

Robot carries out operation by itself

http://phys.org/news67222790.html

For the first time, a robot surgeon in Italy has carried out a long-distance heart operation by itself. "This operation has enabled us to cross a new frontier," said Carlo Pappone, who initiated and monitored the surgery on a PC in Boston, ANSA reported. Pappone is head of Arrhythmia and Cardiac Electrophysiology at Milan's San Raffaele University. The 50-minute surgery, which took place in a Milan hospital, was carried out on a 34-year-old patient suffering from atrial fibrillation. Dozens of heart specialists attending an international congress on arrhythmia in Boston also watched.

Tiny Electronic Bugs Invade Our Homes

The house is quiet. Everyone has left for the day. Crumbs and bits of food litter the kitchen counters from breakfast and even from dinner the night before. With our hectic modern-day lifestyles of commuting, working and socializing, jobs like cleaning up aren’t always a high priority. Fortunately, the exterminators were here just last week, and this house is safe and vermin-free. Or is it?

Darpa PetMan Military Robot.

Also known as Atlas proto. This video covers the life of 'PetMan'. PetMan is being developed by Boston Dynamics for DARPA.

This humanoid robot Walks, crawls, kneels, marches, running, jumping, climbs stairs and moves around obstacles.

Apparently designed for testing chemical suits, but it can perform various tasks dynamically, such as search and rescue operations in fire, nuclear and other hazardous conditions, without human exposure.

In April 2009, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded a $26.3m contract to the Midwest Research Institute (MRI) towards the development of IPE and the PETMAN. (U.S company working for the U.S. defense.)

The bipedal robot weighs about 80kg (180lb) and is nearly six feet tall (1.75m). Petman is the fastest bipedal robot in the world. It uses hydraulic actuation and articulated legs with shock absorbers for operations. The unveiled prototype has an onboard computer, several sensors and other internal monitoring systems. Its functions are currently operated through controls on tether.

PetMan: Protection Ensemble Test Mannequin.
DARPA: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
DoD: Department of Defense.
CBDP: Chemical and Biological Defense Program.
IPE: Individual Protection Ensemble.

Tuesday 3rd December 2013 at 03:36 By David Icke

‘In news that has shocked the world, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos has publicly announced an ambitious plan to deliver packages to customers in 30 minutes using airborne robotic drones. The story was unveiled by 60 Minutes on Sunday.

More than a mere pipe dream, the so-called “Prime Air” delivery system is already functioning in test mode. Multi-rotor robotic drones grab packages at an Amazon distribution center then literally fly out a window and take to the skies. Minutes later, the drones make a soft landing on the front porch of a customer, releasing the package and returning back to the Amazon.com distribution center for a power recharge.

Bezos told 60 Minutes he believes this technology will be commercially viable in “four or five years,” adding that FAA regulations might be the biggest hurdle.’

Meet Lily, a Camera Drone That Follows You Automatically

LILY

Cameras on drones (or UAVs, however you like to call them) are great fun, but it's hard to do anything else while piloting the things, unless you want footage of it crashing. Lily is a new quad-rotor drone that you don't have to pilot at all — just toss it in the air, and it will follow you wherever you go, taking basic direction like which side to shoot from, or what height.

There's a controller the size of a small cookie that you'll need to have on your person — in your pocket, or attached to the included waterproof wrist case — that the drone knows to follow, and which you can use to issue instructions. It can trail behind you, shoot from the side, fly ahead or slowly describe a circle with you at the center. Lily is made with sports enthusiasts in mind, so it's lightweight and waterproof — though with just 20 minutes of battery life, you won't be able to get down the slopes many times before it runs out of juice.
