Scientists are teaching robots how to hunt down prey
- bitwize 10y agoJust the sort of development we'll need when we build Mechanical Hounds to track down criminals and their illegal book stashes...

- zkhalique 10y agoYes, not scary at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_luhn7TLfWU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_luhn7TLfWU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2itwFJCgFQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2itwFJCgFQ
- rsspbrry 10y agoFirst the robots take our jobs. Then they kill us. And they are probably using taxpayer money to do this.

- Pica_soO 10y agoTo be perfectly honest, we were screwed alot by one another before the nuke was invented.
- daveguy 10y agoEdits: The paper: http://www.ini.unizh.ch/admin/extras/doc_get.php?id=61583 http://www.ini.unizh.ch/admin/extras/doc_get.php?id=61583 Most publications from this group are typical AI research: http://www.ini.unizh.ch/publications http://www.ini.unizh.ch/publications The paper is essentially one wheeled robot following another wheeled robot implemented with convolutional neural networks. You are safe for now. This is predator-prey behavior just like adaptive cruise control is predator-prey behavior. --- I see several links in the article, but they are all secondary references. Anyone have a reference to the actual "prey hunting" project. The same skill set is needed to catch a ball or follow someone to assist (as mentioned in the article). I am trying to figure out if this engaget article is the one hyping half-functional robots as predator machines or if the researchers themselves are promoting their work like this. I would also like to see what the performance is like.

- brooklyndavs 10y agoOk robot, now the prey is a human. :)

- fhood 10y agoThe article could have shown you the actual robot. But instead they decided to let you imagine an indestructible titanium death cheetah.
- larubbio 10y agoTheir was a robot in 1999 that hunted slugs and powered itself from their decomposing bodies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/503149.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/503149.stm
- lloyd-christmas 10y agoWell that isn't terrifying in the slightest.
- fapjacks 10y ago"At the base, the slugs will be transferred into a fermentation chamber where bacteria convert them into bio-gas, which is used to load a fuel cell to produce the electricity to power SlugBot's batteries for its next foray."
