Video of Newest Sniper Targets: Robots On Segways!
The Marathon robots come with a suite of capabilities to make them move realistically. They have laser range finders so that they can avoid running into obstacles, including people on the move (3:25). They lean forward slightly as they walk forward, like people do. Each robot has a wireless connection to a central control unit, letting the robots act together as they follow a movement script or all respond to the same stimuli. It’s really impressive that they can all scatter after one of their own gets shot (5:12). Best of all, the Segways are armored plated so they can take a hit and come back for the next round (4:45).
