I don't know. This pretty much looks like the Terminator to me. It just needs some good software and a gun. Google's self-driving car technology could be adapted into a formidable killing machine brain.
This is of course the hard part. But this robot was built to be a common platform for DARPA to build a project around: the DARPA Humanoid Challenge. The idea is to supply a very expensive robot to a few groups and a simulation of it to lots of groups, and have them compete on the control software. No guns this time around.
Well, a bipedal humanoid robot that can walk on any terrain and can't easily be pushed over was also the hard part, and those problems are starting to look solved.
Probably before these things are autonomous we're going to have these as human controlled drones, which is a pretty scary thought all by itself.
