    The tank-like robot has the ability to transport itself to a preset destination. It can also spot and avoid obstacles by utilizing dozens of sensors and an advanced driving system. Moreover, the platform can self-destruct if it falls into enemy hands.

    It is not an autonomous weapons system. It is a platform that can maneuver autonomously.

      Targeting for the weapon itself is done by a human remotely at least right?

      …right?

      *eta: yeah, it looks like it has a remote driver who can take over the steering and control the gun with a little PS4 controller thingy

        How long until there is a version that would let the operator upload a photo of the target and the gun bot would seek and shoot that target automatically, with 99.9% face detection accuracy?

      One more step towards the inevitable weapons-free platform that will eventually come.
