for anyone that's interested, you can see a lot of robotic projects here: http://www.bostondynamics.com/

the image posted above is of 'wildcat' (robopig for the uninitiated)... it has a top speed of 16 miles an hour... which (fortunately) most of us can out run. however, if used in conjunction with their other robots... say 'bigdog' (robocow for the uninitiated)... which has a top speed of 4 miles per hour... but can lift more than 350 lbs and can drag you away or throw cinder blocks at you... you're fucked.
they also have other robots that they can use to ruin your day...
the 'cheetah' which has a top speed of more than 26 miles per hour...
a six legged menace that can climb walls...
a four wheeled thingy that can jump 30 feet into the air...
a four flippered thingamabobber that can operate on any terrain...
two humanoid type robots...
they have the 'ls3' (robofuckingox for the uninitiated) which can carry more than 400 lbs of gear and visually track and follow it's leader (or target)...
oh, and they have a 'little dog' too (roborat) that can sneak around and spy on you.
currently... all of these robots are unarmed... at the moment...
but, before anything goes down, i would like to be the first to welcome our new robot overlords.
the technology is no doubt impressive, but progress is the exact reason why we need guns. lots of guns and now! okay... so the robots operating on battery power can be easily dispatched with a bat or other blunt... swinging weapon... the gasoline powered engine robots on the other hand will be more difficult. from experience... a 50 cal. from a safe distance into the engine block should disable it... and this is assuming that they haven't been armed yet.

oh... did i mention that a some of these things don't require human intervention to operate? neat! just add in the current aerial and nautical drones in use and you have an entire robotic army.
