Russia Says The Robot They Just Built and Trained To Shoot Guns With Both Hands "Is Not The Terminator" - Sure Thing.

The Independent – Russia’s space-bound humanoid robot FEDOR (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research) is being trained to shoot guns from both of its hands.

The activity will help improve the android’s motor skills and decision-making, according to its creators, who have also tried to address concerns that they’re developing a real-life Terminator.

“Robot platform F.E.D.O.R. showed shooting skills with two hands,” wrote Russia’s deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin, on Twitter.

Mr Rogozin also posted a short clip showing of FEDOR in action, firing a pair of guns at a target board, alongside the message, “Russian fighting robots – guys with iron nature.”

FEDOR is expected to travel to space in 2021, and could be the only passenger on board Russia’s Federation spacecraft when it does so.

It’s being developed by Android Technics and the Advanced Research Fund, and has been taught a wide range of advanced skills.

It knows how to use keys and a variety of tools, screw in light bulbs and even drive a car.

The robot was originally created for rescue work, but military uses have also been suggested by engineers.

…Maybe somebody smarter than me can explain why we’re allowing Russia to build the fucking Terminator? Like we know this is happening, there are news headlines about it, and we’re just sitting back watching it go down? I’ll have to ask Riggs about the behind the scenes politics on this situation.  How we as a country can just sit back and watch the construction of F.E.D.O.R.  I mean fuck everything else, there’s never been a more impeachable worthy moment of Trump’s presidency than allowing Russia to build a freaking robot space assassin.

This deputy Prime Minister can cut the shit with his empty explanations too by the way.  “Working on fine motor skills and decision-making algorithms.” Buddy…it’s a robot you trained to shoot fucking guns. With both hands.

I need Seal Team 6 inserted behind Russian lines to rip the wires out of the hard drive on this thing ASAP. Building a robot and expecting everything to be just fine, it’s like we learn nothing from human history.
