"We are not creating a Terminator": Russia denies risk as Putin's 'robot army' is trained to shoot guns

By -


Vladimir Putin's 'robot army' is being trained to shoot guns from both of its hands, it's emerged.
MirrorOnline reported last December how the android robots called FEDOR - Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research - are being developed for space exploration by Russia.
Now it's emerged that the human looking robots - with a head, two arms and two legs - have been handed guns as part of their training.
A video clip of them in action has already caused a senior government officials to issue a denial that they are creating a real-life "Terminator-style" killer.

The reference is to the robot in the Hollywood science fiction franchise - played by Arnold Schwarzenegger - which takes over the earth in the future by killing all humans that stand in its path.
FEDOR stands six foot tall, weighs between 106-160 kg depending on extra equipment - and can lift up to 20 kg of cargo.
Its creators claim that teaching them to shoot will help improve their motor skills and decision-making abilities.
Posting a short clip showing the armed robot in action, Russia's deputy PM Dmitryi Rogozin said: "Robot platform F.E.D.O.R. showed shooting skills with two hands.
"We are not creating a Terminator, but artificial intelligence that will be of great practical significance in various fields.”
The robot was originally created with rescue missions in mind until military uses began being suggested.
FEDOR is set to travel into space in 2021 - and has been touted as a permanent replacement for cosmonauts currently maintaining the ISS in the long term.
The robot is being developed by Android Technics and the Advanced Research Fund.
They are attempting to teach it a wide variety of basic and advanced skills - from how to use a set of keys and various tools to how to screw in a light bulb and drive a car.
FEDOR is the prototype of a new artificial intelligence the Russian leader wants to send to the International Space Station.
It can work in the extreme temperatures on the moon without the need for a space suit - and can even 'live' outside in the open.

This comes as Russia revealed plans to send humans to the Moon by 2031.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele...

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said...

In a move that once again proves   its commitment to renewable energy , China has begun construction on its first large-scale commercial solar plant out in the sun-dreched expanse of the Gobi Desert. Called Delingha, the colossal facility will spread out across 25 km² (6,300 acres) of vacant land in the country's Qinghai province, and will feature six huge solar towers hooked up to an array of solar mirrors. When complete, the plant will have a capacity of 200 megawatts, which means it will be able to supply electricity to 1 million households in Qinghai year-round. "Its designed heat storage is 15 hours, thus, it can guarantee stable, continual power generation," Qinghai Solar-Thermal Power Group board chair, Wu Longyi,   told the press . The facility is the first solar plant to be run as a commercial entity, and   according to Svati Kirsten Narula at Quartz , it’s being jointly developed by BrightSource Energy, based in Oakland, California, and the Shanghai El...
