Actually they invented mass ideological and digital warfare like 50+ years ago and normies didn't even figure out they're at war yet, and that was literally the end of infantry.

professional infantry can shoot down drones easily

>>84051451
A lot of the jobs infantry have to do is now obsolete, the very end of this is scaling combat to a very few combat technicians that handle a huge assortment or robots

>>84051451
infantry might still be a thing simply for the fact that some subhuman with a gun is cheaper than a drone

Fuck my chudcel life

>>84051451
Reports from the war in Ukraine say that smoke grenades are very effective at stopping cheapo drones. Direct energy weapons would be a good counter for drones if it weren't for battery tech being garbage.
And that said I don't even think "light infantry" is dead.

why would anyone make a humanoid robot other than vanity? there are more efficient shapes for specific utilities

Elon makes them.
And he says he wants to build actually billions of them.

We went from 60-70% of the population working in agriculture to 1-5%.
Replacing human workers with machines didn't put humans out of work, it put them in different lines of work. It allowed us to specialize

>>84051548
probably? what does it change about a biped robots being inefficient?

>>84051535
Humanoid robots would be good for mountain, jungle and urban warfare.

>>84051566
I get the rough terrain, but a biped with arms and torso? quadruped with a weapon or weapons mounted makes more sense

>>84051577
It wouldn't make much sense for climbing buildings, steep surfaces like mountains or anything like that.
Though it could be argued that power armor would be more efficient for those things. Like >>84051535 said (is that you) bipedal robots are a matter of vanity or "robots are cool". I love my mecha anime but most of it isn't realistic in the slightest even if the "scientific research homework" behind it is solid.

>It wouldn't make much sense for climbing buildings
well, not that you can't have some portion of the bots speciallized just for that
the benefit of making things the shape you need, not the one you were born with
>is that you
hehe

Like a grappling hook that can be shot? What if the hooks' launcher is not powerful enough to pierce the particular surface the robot has to climb?
>the benefit of making things the shape you need, not the one you were born with
I guess that's why some actual engineers and engineering autismos claim the most efficient design for bipedal robot is "reversed legs"...
>is that you
>hehe
hehehe

>>84051667
>enough to pierce
stronger launcher, maybe electro-magnets in some rare cases
anyway aren't most grappling hooks meant to get stuck on ledges?

>>84051698
>stronger launcher, maybe electro-magnets in some rare cases
That would increase the weight and it could be a problem if the launcher is mounted or made in a way that would shift the robot's center of gravity (for example making it more top heavy) or significantly impair its mobility...
>anyway aren't most grappling hooks meant to get stuck on ledges?
I've been thinking of something more like a pile driver that gets stuck in the surface the robot is meant to climb than a "proper" grappling hook.
That said, I think human sized humanoid robots would be great for stuff that is extremely dangerous for humans to do. Like handling hydrazine
