The US Army is about to roll out these six - wheel vehicles that may be the granddad of all of our robot overlords of the future . All the U. S. Army ’s bots up until now have been large - scale versions of radio - curb model cars , but the army ’s injecting these bots ’ souls with autonomy , give them GPS points and then set them free to move between them , and even teaching them to eventually lay waste to all in their track .
The Multifunction Utility Logistics and Equipment ( MULE ) vehicle pictured at left will be packing iron , too , loaded with two 7.62 mm machine guns and a duet of serious anti - cooler projectile . Not contented with that , the army has put together an even bigger bot ( pictured at right ) , a six - ton translation that can open up an even huger can of whoop - ass . Hey , soldier boy eccentric person : just ensure you teach these sizeable hunks of steaming junk thethree laws of robotics .
