Russian military ‘Daft Punk’ biker parades in circles riding a quad – Putin is visibly not impressed

A popular staple in science fiction is the idea of a robot or robots in general designed to be the ultimate warrior. It's a frightening thought - a robot doesn't bleed, it follows orders to the very last line of code and bears no mercy. Luckily, judging from a recent video footage released by Russia Today this won't happen for a long, long time. The report shows an embarrassing looking human-shaped robot that seems like a cross between a storm trooper and a Daft Punk. The autonomous bot rides a quad at low velocity through a training ground, but even the fires in the background doesn't help the robot look any more menacing.

As for Russia’s head of state who sitting in the audience, Vladimir Putin is far from being impressed. He gracelessly nods in apparent approval, but there’s no denying he’s somewhere else with his mind. Oh, well somebody’s out of a job.
