When you play a first-person shooter game, did you ever wish you were firing a real gun? In a real war? These plucky Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels made this fantasy real. Their homemade tank has a .50 machine gun whose Operator Control Unit (OCU) is a PlayStation controller. Look out Assad and ISIL; the FSA has guys who play video games.
Flexible Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) are nothing new, but this is one of the first to operate successfully untethered outside a laboratory environment. Is this robot cute or creepy? You decide.

FUNNY MILITARY VIDEOS
The Civil War gave us The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. World War I inspired A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. Our generation will be remembered by funny military videos.
This amazing video illustrates how the DB6 is integrated into a lightweight Ground Target Acquisition System (GTAS). Made by the Israeli defense giant, IAI, the GTAS is clearly designed for the classic Special Forces mission, i.e. a small number of soldiers infiltrate enemy territory and locate targets.

Swarm Of Insect-Inspired Microbots Is Unsettlingly Clever
Fascinating video illustrates capabilities of a hive minded unmanned system, whose mobility is generated by magnetism. Also, it gave us the creeps.
Wired.com took some videos of the action at the Robot Rodeo, including the autonomy demonstration, in which AMREL’s ROCKY DB6 played a major role. Video below.
The ROCKY DB6, a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product, is the smallest, fully rugged handheld in the world that can run full Windows or Linux OS. DB6s acted as payload controllers and as an Operator Control Unit. Read more about its role as a platform for autonomous functions here.
