"Real" military applications, perhaps not. "Pseudo-military" operations, i.e. in our rapidly militarizing civilian police forces, perhaps not so far off.

- robotresearcher 13y agoYou think a police robot is easier than a soldier robot? Why? Both services are deploying robots as fast as they can. Thousands are in Iraq and Afghanistan.
- hedonist 13y agoCost of training per role is probably a pretty good metric.
- robotresearcher 13y agoThe cost of training a human pilot is higher than a shoe-store clerk. Software already pilots planes very well, but working in a shoe store is very hard for a robot.
- finnw 13y ago> Thousands are in Iraq and Afghanistan Those are not humanoid.
- robotresearcher 13y agoRight, but the grandparent suggested that we'd see such robots in police applications before military. I'm asking why he thinks this is so. We are not seeing this with the non-humanoids.
