WATCH: Terrifying Autonomous Flying Attack Robot. ATTACKING STUFF.

Just watch it.

Autonomous attack robot.

Look at it going at that slot! Sweet Jesus ! Imagine that slot’s your letterbox! OR WORSE!

Sweet Baby Jesus and the orphans. It’s that thing from Minority Report.

THAT THING IS FLIPPING HORRORFUL.

And you know what the psychos over at the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Lab who made this thing titled that terrifying video?

Aggressive Maneuvers for Autonomous Quadrotor Flight

Serious!

They are not sugar coating it!

Aggressive manoeuvres? What the hell is wrong with you people? I can almost understand creating an autonomous robot (as BJ pointed out when I told him on this, that’s a VIRUS) to, like, help old ladies cross the road or save people from volcanoes or whatever, but to engage in AGGRESSIVE MANEUVERS? Really?

Skynet ain’t fucking around bubba. This ish is getting seriious. Are YOU robot proof?

Props to The Geek Squad.

    I think they’re using aggressive as in aggressive inline skating or whatnot. Not as in asskicking. The last autonomous quadricopter vids I saw, they were slowly wobbling around the room with the rotors always remaining horizontal. So to move from wobblybots to fucking hell did you just see what it did there? Aggressive seems like the right word. These are TOTALLY FLIPPING OUT and TOTALLY FLIPPING AWESOME.

    Point. Scary as hell too tho. Or maybe I'm racist against robots. I don't think I am though. I just dont want one of those fuckers Tai Fighting its way through my letter box and blowing up my fridge.
