Aussies sell 'Terminator' robots to US marines

Aussies sell 'Terminator' robots to US marines: "A small team of Sydney scientists has secured a $57 million contract to supply robots to the US Marine Corps.

The Terminator-style technology uses artificial intelligence and could be the next big thing in military training.

'People train on static pop up targets or targets that move predictably on rails,' Eric Watson from Marathon Robotics, based in Redfern, told Nine News.

'This can move anywhere throughout the range. It can move unpredictably. It can surprise people. It adds a dynamic element to training. It makes people think in different ways.'"
