Great for us while we have the monopoly on the technology. It begs the question, though....what happens in five or ten years when things like this are available off the shelf? Robot car bombs? Maybe we're approaching the day when the battlefield is just too dangerous for humans, and all the combat will be done by machines.

Proof that watching Robot Wars wasn't a waste of our time!

They're small enough to put in a backpack and "throw" into action? Doesn't this also mean, like, that somebody can, like, PICK ONE UP AND THROW IT INTO THE NEAREST RIVER?

I hope that is also contains explosives that can be remotely detonated!

Wait till the RATS in both Congress and academia find out that Carnegie Mellon University is cooperating with the USMC. This robot program will be shut down fast unless it can be proved that these robotic "weapons of war" can be converted to delivering food to people too lazy to go to work, or can perform abortions.

This is nothing. Most of my equipment is throwable.

I've got a throwable laptop-- not really remote-controllable, though-- in fact, it doesn't even work very well if you're typing right on it...
