Don't they have any scientists with half a brain cell who could perhaps inform them that creating such a terminator that could think, open doors, navigate, kill, detain etc etc... is way more advanced than anything even the Japanese could dream up in the next few years? Until we solve the lack of real A.I. problem and power issues humanoid combatants are a no-go. Heck they are more likely to get a demented farting Robosapien for a wife :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 24th 2007 10:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Singapore's DSTA launches urban warfare robot contest]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not only is this contest technically flawed (current AI is nowhere nearly as developed as to accomplish the required tasks) but also short sighted: why must it search and *destroy* human targets? With all the advances in non-lethal weapons one would expect a robot to use that. After all, is not as if its "life" would be at risk by not using the biggest, baddest rail-gun to blast an enemy soldier. Also, if by any chance it chooses the wrong target (and it *will* happen eventually) collateral damage at least won't be measured in deaths...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ignacio]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2007 8:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Singapore's DSTA launches urban warfare robot contest]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</guid><description><![CDATA[engadget should simply replace all of their blurb images with unrelated transformers.  i swear their readership would double.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cuby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2007 1:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Singapore's DSTA launches urban warfare robot contest]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/singapores-dsta-launches-urban-warfare-robot-contest/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder how it'll be tested should some smart geek gets a real-life optimus prime working.
