Dang, scary at first...
What do you think the government is going to use this all for and do you think it will make the future a better place?

âEUoeCan large numbers of autonomously functioning vehicles be reliably deployed in the form of a âEU~swarmâEUTM to carry out a prescribed mission and to respond as a group to high-level management commands? Can such a group successfully function in a potentially hostile environment, without a designated leader, with limited communications between its members, and/or with different and potentially dynamically changing âEUoerolesâEU for its members?âEU

oh and simply cause I have to say it...

If you don't have one yet; buy a crowbar.

You ask this as if police forces and militaries aren't already stronger than their home populaces.

They're mounting guns on these soon, you'll see a lot of quadrators patrolling the streets.
Safer or more dangerous? You take your pick.

Destroy technology to prevent the robot takeover.

We can make robots which stabilize themselves in a split second, robots which jump, robots which run 28 mph, cars which drive 300 mph, helicopters/rotor lift vehicles which move in tandem, and unmanned Mach 20 vehicles.

Can we make one small robot which can do all of these things?

We can't even make a big robot who do half of these things. So definitely no small one for now. We'll see in 10 or 20 years.

it would cost more

it would cost more

Money won't fix incompatible design.

I bet apple will try, for government pay.

Said robot would probably be extremely flimsy, though. Don't drop THAT robot.

Why are you convinced that it can't be designed to do all of these things?

I can. But it would take time and money. Soon =/= now.

Sure buddy.

Someone will draw the perfect transformer design that actualy work for real the minute they read that post. Check your full list again...

I don't know about the formation part, but the US Army already uses a tiny hummingbird sized and shaped spyplane, the Nano Hummingbird.
