thewayneThis is pretty awesome. They can actually shoot the robots (i.e. sniper training) and have the other robots react to the shot and take cover!
They can be run as remote-control devices, or programmed for scenarios that could be altered by the programming on the fly as the robots take casualties. They can also be programmed for hostage situations where one or more of the robots are hostages being shepherded around by the bad guys.
Very cool stuff. I believe in providing the highest quality training to people who might have to take lives, and this is a definite step in the right direction.
