Humanoid robot F.E.D.O.R., set to fly into space in 2021, is now capable of shooting using both of his arms, according to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.
“The robot of the F.E.D.O.R. platform showed skills of firing using both . Currently the work on fine motor skills and decision algorithms is underway,” Rogozin wrote on his Twitter.
According to Rogozin, training to shoot is a way of teaching the robot to instantaneously prioritize targets and make decisions.
“We are not creating a terminator but artificial intelligence which will have a great practical importance in various fields,” he added.

Yes, they are creating a Terminator.
It’s all fun and games until it Zulus its operator.
I hope this bot has the walking part down. Stumbling with two guns in its hands could get exciting.
Yeah, I’ll be over here, you can test the termi,er , um, spacebot yourself
It a very, very primitive terminator. It’s probably more suited for shooting off fireworks.
What could possibly go wrong?
Dont be so paranoid. They said it wasnt a Terminator right in the story.
I mean, come on. Whats the worse that could happen?
In 1976, the Soviet Union had perfected a humanoid robot who’s primary function was to entertain and overwhelm. You can see why this controversial video has until now, been kept vaulted away.

Asimov’s Laws will protect humans from harm.
I believe it was Tom Selleck that starred in a movie called “Runaway.” If you haven’t seen the movie, he plays a cop that is called when robotics go wrong and he had to face one with a gun and a baby in a house. The robot ran out of bullets finally.

Trump taught this thing to shoot in exchange for the presidency.
Also starred Gene Simmons. The part where a RC car delivers a bomb under a car was scary. Could see it happening for real.
Runaway was written and directed by Michael Crichton.
A very tall man. Towards the end of his life, he revealed a conservative streak. He wrote a book that not only took the #### out on global warming (having some real fun at the expensive of Hollywood liberals in the process), but it contained an extensive section at the end detailing extensively the horrors of Margaret Sanger’s beliefs and skewering other leftist sacred cows.
What could possibly go wrong.
Just wait until this thing hooks up with HAL.
