Trainers controlled their robots remotely with joysticks.
soo not autonomous? just more expensive battlebots… yawn.
Pretty sure it’s at least semi-autonomous. In the video you can see the bots react to hits and recover their footing, there’s no way a human can control all those reflex actions in real time.
Ok. I know. Apocalypse and dystopia. But c’mon. We have gladiator robots. That’s cool
Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities
It’s not like we stood a chance anyways. Just strap a gun to those Boston Dynamics dogs and we’re all doomed.
Obligatory link to slaughterbots
Shudders* Yeah, humanoid robots that can do advanced human style fighting pale in comparison.
Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.
Can we get robots vs wrestlers like in HIMYM? At least one dream not tainted by the future.
Oh my god…How I Met Your Mother was right!!! This is absolutely going to lead to “Wrestlers vs Robots”!!!
Battlebots, the new vision.
This is what we’re using our resources on? What a waste
Not the world’s first as this fine lump of shit already exists…
Here’s the final round. Honestly, the robots did better than I expected. This is fun, but I think we’re 5-10 years away from CCP giving these robots guns and deploying them against humans.
