The Rise Of Robots | The End Of Human Rule

The Rise Of Robots | The End Of Human Rule

Rise Of Robots

The Stuff Of Science Fiction

Once the stuff of science fiction novels, robotics have become a part of modern life. They have displaced millions of workers, reduced production costs and are even being used in certain military and police applications. Aerial robots, called drones, already exist and are being used more and more every day to patrol the skies. But, the concept of a fully armed and operational mobile robot army or navy remained in the realm of imagination, that is, until now.

Major Transformations

Once restricted by heavy and inefficient batteries or by the length of power supply lines, robots as we’ve known them are about to go through major transformations because of recent advances in battery technology. The newest line of batteries, air/metal batteries, offers far greater power output and storage, weigh much less than other models of electrical storage and require little more than water to recharge.

Terrifying Arsenal Of Firepower

This will allow a robot nearly the size of an automobile to travel almost a thousand miles and deliver a terrifying arsenal of firepower. Multiply that robot by thousands or millions and the future of law enforcement and military action on land and sea becomes easier to envision.

Human Security At Risk

But, as robotic technology advances, human security slips away. How can an unarmed human, capable of a top speed of less than 13 miles per hour, possibly hope to escape a heat seeking, fully armed robot being guided by an operator halfway around the world. A robot that’s capable of travelling at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour?

Where Do You Run?

And we’ve all seen those cool jet skis skimming across lakes and rivers, but where do you run when you see 10,000 robotic watercraft coming at you; each equipped with 50 caliber machine guns, laser guided rocket launchers, bazookas and sonar guided C4 stuffed torpedo’s all synced to air support?

Attack And Take Over

Yes, advances in battery technology will no doubt reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, but unless specific laws restricting robotic use are enacted very, very quickly, we’re entering a time when the rest of those old science fiction tales come true; when the robots decide that we are no longer necessary, attack and take over from me and you.
