Personal Scout-Robot Tested in Iraq

Very cool:

The robot, known as Dragon Runner, has the ability to see around corners and deliver information to Marines while keeping them out of danger in urban settings where human access is impractical, dangerous or unsustainable.

The blurb that follows is about mine-detecting robots. Also very cool.

I love this line:

Mohammed: Abdulla, look at the cute little remote control toy coming this way.

Abdulla: Where, Mo?

Mohammed: Goodness, it is approaching rather quickly.

Abdulla: How fast can you run, Mo?

BOOM!

It's called "Dragon Runner"? Was it designed by Gary Gygax?

Didn't I see that robot on BattleBots?

Posted by: Beck on June 28, 2004 05:24 PM

Cool. And, I guess, a good start. What I really want to know is, when are we going to start fielding BOLO's?
