'Intelligent" Robots

The Robot floating in the air is called "Honeywell XM 156". It is a Miniature Air Vehicle that can literally "hover and stare" to designated targets. Which in others words, can spy human activity discreetly from a safe distance. This is definitely not a robot which we would want it to be "smart".


Official known as "Boston Dynamics Big Dog." Doesn't it look like something out of Modern Warfare or Call of Duty? This "Big Dog" lives up to its name. With full charge and well-oiled parts, it can easily cross 10 to 20 miles ( usually around 14) on any sort of terrain. The speed is about of a very old car, (20 - 40 mph.) < -- Please comment on this if I am wrong, the speed of the "Big Dog" is not known yet.

It can also act as a scout, and "detect" enemy bases and current hide - outs. Sadly, it does not have a form of "eyes" to "see" the settings around them, or detectors. The 'Big Dog" is rumored to be used mainly as a scout and "chaser" (To chase targets and therefore, not completely lose them).
