AMEE the killer robot

Post by funkervogt »

You can be forgiven for never having watched the movie Red Planet given that it was a bad movie and came out 22 years ago. However, the killer robot is worth a mention:



Here are two things I like about the robot, AMEE:

1) It has superhuman speed and dexterity, meaning it can jump up to a human and strike the person faster than a human can react. AMEE doesn't need a gun (though it would help)--even just a kitchen knife is a weapon of mass murder in its hands.

2) AMEE has detailed knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, and can tailor its attacks to kill or cause varying levels of pain and incapacity.

Someday, robots will have these kinds of abilities, and they will be able to toy with us as they please.
