China’s Technocracy In Full Bloom: Packs Of Drones Hunting Humans

The faux cover for advanced drones that can fly and hunt in packs is that they will be used in rescue operations. However, there is no technology in China that has not ultimately been used for warfare or suppression of their own citizens. These drones can be easily fitted with explosives or other weapons capable of disabling and/or killing their target. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Technocracy News

(by Adrian Zorzut | The Sun) – Terrifying footage has emerged showing Chinese super drones hunting down humans in packs, sparking fears they could soon be primed to kill.

The breakthrough achievement has prompted concerns that they could put to sinister use.

A team from Zhejiang University in China released incredible footage of 10 lightweight drones filmed moving swiftly between trunks, uneven ground, weeds and tangled branches.

The impressive bit of hardware runs off an algorithm and charts surroundings in real-time meaning it can readjust its flight path in an instant, according to The Telegraph.

According to experts, these high-tech drones update every few milliseconds which means they can avoid colliding with other objects and can quickly regroup with others to flight with super efficiency.

And because they don’t need GPS signal, they can be easily deployed in areas with poor satellite coverage.

Experts say the tech will make surveying remote wildlife or hunting for survivors in disaster zones much easier.

But in a chilling turn of events, the crew at Zhejiang University also trialled the drones on a man making his way through a cluster of trees.

The bots were also to keep focus even when the man hid behind objects to shield himself from the cameras.

Addressing the breakthrough in the journal Science Robotics, researchers said: “The swarms’ capability of navigation and coordination in these films has attracted and inspired numerous researchers. Here, we take a step forward to such a future.”

Dr Jonathan Aitken from Sheffield University hailed the development, telling New Scientist it was an “excellent achievement”.

“To achieve a quality map, built from a distributed collection of robots, of the detail demonstrated is an excellent piece of engineering.

“To couple this with the additional successful navigation and avoidance of obstacles, and critically other members of the swarm, is an excellent achievement.”

It’s not the first time China’s tech developments have been a cause for concern.

Last year, Beijing unveiled a terrifying new war machine that can unleash swarms of “suicide” drones at troops and tanks.

A clip showed dozens of the deadly devices being launched from a weapons system mounted to the back of a truck and also being dropped from helicopters. Read Full Article >
