When I first saw Sony’s adorable little AIBO, I remember mentioning to a friend that one day these robots would bare their slavering teeth at us, form an army and become truly a scourge unto all of mankind.
What I didn’t realize at the time is that the Israeli military has been working on this very thing. Indeed, they went one better: envisioning the mighty AIBOs flanked by a whole army of robotic animals, including robotic cats with razor sharp claws to use for climbing walls, and slithering robot snakes capable of sneaking into buildings through pipes.
