Israeli military develops robot snake for battlefield, children's nightmares
#-Link-Snipped-#
#-Link-Snipped-#While this is by no means the first time we've seen a #-Link-Snipped-# prototype, it isn't every day that we find one so close to deployment. This self-propelling, two feet long robot can crawl along the ground, climb through debris, and even stand erect to give the operator a better view. The Israeli Defense Force is will use this thing for routine surveillance and reconnaissance, broadcasting video and sound to a monitor and control station. And if this is not enough? In that case, the prototype can be wired with explosives -- making it, according to the Jerusalem Post, a "suicide snake." Fun! And rather upsetting. No proposed price or timetable yet, but you can see the thing in action for yourself after the break.

channieit is definitely scary with the explosives. This robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction. So much for the Three Laws of Robotics.
