I wonder what current battery tech will do, in duration of time it can do this task.
I saw a video the other day of one of these that someone put in a Cheetah caged area, and taunted the cat. It was on all fours in some sort of border collie sheep herding mode, but there clearly was a camera operator and a remote, as when the cat got angry and started to attack, the robot got up on two legs, and did the "puttem up" boxing motion with the movement it has for the wrist/ankle to paw. It looked funny.
At any rate, think of more battery then the load, and a 30 lb. bomb, all GPS guided, with camera feed back or not. But war or terrorism with this.......And running upright, into a crowd of militia and revert to 4 leg mode and back to escape destruction before target is reached. There's no amount of secret service that could stop this.
The Secret Service started using robotic dogs this week: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...trump-florida/
Those agricultural drones scare me worse, as they could easy fly into a stadium of 10s of thousands, and just the terrorism fear, add any explosive or highly flammable sprayed liquids using the existing ag system and tanks.
But then I did not think of loading 100s of pagers and walki-talkies with explosives that could be simultaneously set off.
The sci-fi depictions of robot soldiers generally didn't predict that they would fly.
