Foster-Miller Talon Robot Will Kick Your Ass

 

That’s the Foster-Miller Talon robot featured above, which is the company’s current most ass-kickingest soldier robot available. Highlights include: 

• TALON robots can take a punch and stay in the fight.  One was blown off the roof of a Humvee in Iraq recently while the Humvee was crossing a bridge over a river.  TALON flew off the bridge and plunged into the river below.  Soldiers later used its operator control unit to drive the robot back out of the river and up onto the bank so they could retrieve it.
• Climbs stairs, negotiates rock piles, overcomes concertina wire, plows through snow and surf; can right itself.

Word on the street, though, is that the company is developing a sharpshooting sniper robot capable of hitting a small target from a distance of 875 yards.

Combine those two and you have an indestructible robot that can navigate any obstacle and shoot you in the head from nearly nine football fields away.

The robot uprising is real, people. Open your eyes.
