In several places around this world, under the watchful eye of an organization called DARPA, people are working on creating robots that can operate underground, performing whatever task their human masters have in mind. If that wasn’t scary enough in itself, one of the teams working on this calls its project CERBERUS. 1 photo
You see, Cerberus is the name, in Greek mythology, of a dog with multiple heads that guards the doors to Hell. Guards as in it may allow people in, but most certainly won’t allow people out.
Now, in the case of these robots, we’re told the name is just an abbreviation of something that has nothing to do with dogs and hell. CERBERUS stands for CollaborativE walking & flying RoBots for autonomous ExploRation in Underground Settings – and now we know the team behind this project really wanted this name to happen.

There is absolutely no doubt that at some point in our future sentient robots will become a permanent part of our lives. We already see the early stages of what will eventually become a human-made life form, and for some that’s reassuring, while for others pretty damn frightening. 1 photo
More or less intelligent drones are currently flying in our skies, other types of robots are learning to work as teams, and there are organizations out there who are also trying to make them capable of operating underground. One of the ones doing this is, of course, DARPA.
