Anyone else get a sense of anxiety at the thought of a machine gun attached to one of those things?

I was picturing a horde of them streaming down a hill with guns towards you yes.

China is in the forefront of drones, EVs, batteries, robotics and solar. It can't really be considered much behind the US on AI.

I think one day soon the US is going to get a rude awakening of being behind on tech. Probably once they come up with 4nm or less chips and that is likely not far off.

This looks better than Robo dog in the sense that it's being robot, not an animal/human replica, using those wheels. That's how a robot should be. And it looks fantastic with those moves.

Video does not say if those moves were made by a human behind remote control or was the robot doing it by itself? It will be many times more impressive if the robot was avoiding collisions by itself.

Hobbyists are making drones that can go 0-180mph in 2 seconds top speeds of 300+mph. Anxiety all around

I love the "please do not imitate dangerous actions" caption as the guy climbs on to the robot, who could have one of these and not try riding it?
