A new robot for urban warfare and counterterrorisme made by Elbit Systems in Israel. The Viper.
Viper has a special machinegun with a laserpointer capable of firing 1 round and bursts.
It can throw fragmentation,stun and smoke grenades.
The Viper weighs 5 pounds and is about 1 foot long.
It has an electric engine and it can operate on its own with a special program or operated by remote control.
Its capable of climbing stairs, overcome obstacles and at the same time check its surroundings for humans and explosives.
A soldier can carry the robot on its back in a special case.
Its ideal to operate in buildings to take out terrorists, for instance like in Gaza where risks for personell are substantional.

We realy need some blog watch going, I read about it long ago and wanted to post an article, but somehow never managed to find the time...

What looks a bit silly in the vid, in fact is super sophisticated: One leg that is controlled by dont ask me how many computers lets the thing jump exactly where it has to go, in the most weird circumstances and under fire: Details and data here:
