I have long attested that whatever sci fi can think up, humans will eventually create.

In b4 451 isnt SciFi

I'm not remembering a mechanical dog in fahrenheit 451, but it's been decades since I've read it....

Also not at all worried about "footed" robots navigating the real world.

That Boston dynamics robot runs at like 4 miles an hour. The fastest robot dog runs at like almost 12 or something.

Average running speed for humans is between 6.4 and 8 mph depending on gender, etc. And if the obesity rates are correct, I think that it's probably a lot lower and for incredibly short bursts if anything.

Here's the record.

Strap a weapon to this bad boy, and howdy, you've got a war machine!

Too bad for the elderly and disabled/differently abled.

But think of the cost savings!!! /S

Yep. Just start burning the bodies of the weak and elderly every week. Then only the strongest survive. ..

Also keep in mind that humans can run even faster if they do so on all fours.

And source paper.

By 2050, we are going to have only quadrupedal Olympic runners!

And is running in the most inefficient way possible

Isn't there a cheetah bot that can burn a good clip. Dunno what its carrying capacity is, but I remember it could out run puny protestors.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

After looking it up, it says about 8.86 mph after converting from 13 feet per second. Some sites say it's 13 mph, but I trust wired when they state 13 feet per second.

He had a sharp proboscis to stab.
