Russian techies are developing a series of robots that are designed specifically to do battle in terrorist camps and neutralize terrorists in the act, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told Ria Novosti newswire on Friday. The robo-cop will also be used to aid in evacuations from the scene of a terrorist attack, he said.
Other anti-terrorist tech includes systems that can see through walls and engage shooters at long distances, he said. Rogozin did not say when robo-cop might be deployed by the country’s security and intelligence services.

"The technology is still new. Most of it requires humans to control it from afar, as is the case with drone aircraft. But the autonomous robots Russia hopes to develop will one day, probably within a generation, be able to make shoot-to-kill decisions on its own. It’ll be on [= "one"] step below a full fledged cyborg."

Japan has 2 generations who have fantasized about Gundams. I think they have bunkers of Russia’s effort already.

I’m partial to the drone with a gyro-stabilized 50 cal Barrett with automatic adjustments for wind, elevation, and range. The idea of taking out terrorists without collateral damage (usually) is rather appealing.

Great. Russkies and water-heater technology combined with Russian craftmanship. What could go wrong? “Hey Yuri, don’t smush Robocop, what’re you kidding me?’’.
