Russia’s Terminator style killer robot
Russia’s Terminator style killer robot
Russia’s Terminator-style killer robot will soon be able to run. Russia’s Terminator-style killer robot will have learned to run and complete an obstacle course by the end of this year, according to the team working on the project at Moscow’s Central Research Institute for Precision Machine. The robot is being developed under a battlebot programme funded as part of a decade-long arms buildup, which will be taking place until 2020. The programme is costing 20 trillion rubles (£225bn), and is also being used to fund the creation of exoskeleton suits for soldiers that will give them “superhuman” powers. It is also building a new battle tank called UralVagonZavod, which researchers hope will become a model for automated drone tanks. The robot seems as though it still has some way to go before being ready to complete all of the tasks the military researchers believe it is capable of. A video published in January this year by state-owned news agency Russia Today showed President Vladimir Putin looking on at the robot as it slowly drove a quad bike around a track.
