We have now entered the sci-fi era of Star Wars and War of the Worlds. Boston Dymamics has developed robots/androids that are caple of things which up until now have only been in the movies.

The thought of an actual robot army is a bit scary but could be an idea for some small models.

A couple of videos here (lots mote on line)

Drones, pilotless planes and the submarine that was captured in Indonseis have been around for a while. Lots of kids probably got one of the toy flying kind for christmas but smart robots that can dance and walk over different objects without human control are on a higher level.

My thread title was chosen to abstract the spirit in which Boston Dynamics presented the video: A joyous celebration of what has been achieved … with a message of hope for the future, driven by mankind’s ability to innovate.

Edit: This new thread usefully adds ‘Robots’ as a searchable keyword, so all’s well

ETH Zurich do lots of smart things with drones and other automatons. See my post in the other thread Jason mentions.

There's the drones that are phasing out fireworks. The level of reliability and accuracy is mind-boggling.

Drones are being used in many applications and some resembling birds of prey are used at airports to scare away birds. The photos captured by drones are amazing and I had one on my list to Santa but it didn't arrive. (probably because of the quarantine regulations for international visitors)

The Australian defence force has been using drones for a number of years. **LINK**

The latest which is being developed in Aust. for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (USA) is the MQ-9 Reaper. An unmanned aerial vehicle capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations.

It has a top speed of 482 km/h and a range of 1,850 km

This concept is a scary scenario as it's apparently technically feasible Autonomous killer drones
