It is a terrifying vision of the future of battle. Called RoBattle, this heavy duty combat and support robot is strapped with a'robotic kit' consisting of vehicle control, navigation, RT mapping and autonomy, sensors and mission payloads. In addition to ambushing and attacking on command, this combat ready platform, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), can raise its body four feet in the air to tackle obstacles or crouch down 23 inches to hide from enemies. It may be focused on the sky, but Israel Aerospace Industries has stepped down on land to develop the newest member of its unmanned ground robotic systems family. RoBattle is a combat and support robot equipped with a'robotic kit' of vehicle control, navigation, RT mapping and autonomy, sensors and mission payloads RoBattle, is an semi-autonomous combat and support robot designed to assist ground soldiers in the field.

There was a primitive ocean on Mars that held more water than our Artic Sea and alien hunters believe to have spotted signs that life once inhabited the ancient sea. Nestled in the dust of the Gusev crater, appears to be a round broken sea shell that could be'evidence of Mars having an ocean with living creatures'. This is the second sighting of a sea shell this week and, combined with the fossilized fish seen in the dust, conspiracy theorists believe this is proof life did in face exist on the red planet. Nestled in the Gusev crater appears to be a round broken shell that could be'evidence of Mars having an ocean with living creatures' seen in images from the Nasa Curiosity Rover. Pareidolia is the psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimulus.

He is better known for wrestling with the mysterious forces that shape our universe and the existential threat posed by technology. But physicist Stephen Hawking now fears greed could be the undoing of the human race. The University of Cambridge professor has warned that the unequal divide of wealth between individuals and countries is one of the most divisive issues of our time. He claims envy and isolationism is being bred by the way money is currently shared and this may have contributed to the result of the European Union Brexit referendum result in Britain. Professor Stephen Hawking (pictured) has warned the sense of inequality that drove the Brexit vote was driven by the way wealth is viewed and shared in many parts of the world.

China has allocated 199 million yuan ( 29.76 million) to spend on its weather modification programme as part of efforts to combat drought and reduce the impact of natural disasters. The finance ministry revealed the project earlier this month, as state media reported flooding this year caused at least 237 deaths. The Ministry of Finance said the additional funding had been made available in order to help China's regions respond to the large number of'extreme weather events' this year, including heavy flooding in south and central regions as well as drought in the northwest.

Microscopic particles of silver iodide are shot into existing clouds using land based generators or aircraft.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Amazon plans to test its delivery drones in Britain, meaning customers in the UK could soon receive their packages from the internet giant by air, rather than post. The move is the result of a deal with the British government and could see customers in the UK trial the new service before those in the US. But experts have expressed fear that dangers drones could be hijacked and cause'disasters' if the proper controls are not put into place. Amazon plans to test its delivery drones in Britain, meaning customers in Britain could soon receive their packages from the internet giant by air, rather than post. One of the company's prototype drones is pictured Colin Bull, a consultant at Software Quality Systems, said despite the obvious benefits of drones, they ' must be embraced and feared in equal measures'.

America's stealth submarines and being used to carry out cyberattacks and listen in on enemy computer networks, two US Navy officials have revealed. The secret offence capabilities were revealed at a recent Washington conference. 'There is a -- an offensive capability that we are, that we prize very highly,' said Rear Adm. Michael Jabaley, the U.S. Navy's program executive officer for submarines, at a Center for Strategic and International Studies event in Washington. It has previously been revealed the USS Annapolis (pictured) is among the submarines being used. 'This is where I really can't talk about much, but suffice to say we have submarines out there on the front lines that are very involved, at the highest technical level, doing exactly the kind of things that you would want them to do.'

Erik Birkeneder is an intellectual property attorney at Nixon Peabody focused on digital health and medical device companies. Artificial intelligence originally aspired to replace doctors. Researchers imagined robots that could ask you questions, run the answers through an algorithm that would learn with experience and tell whether you had the flu or a cold. However, those promises largely failed, as artificial intelligent algorithms were too rudimentary to perform those functions. Particularly tricky was the variability between people, which caused basic machine learning algorithms to miss the patterns.

Beyond the safety of Earth, robots are paving the way for human exploration of the solar system, reaching out to sniff atmospheres and taste alien soils. For many of these, the target in their sights is Mars, leading the way for a manned mission to the planet. Now planetary scientists are looking to one of these robotic explorers to help them unlock the secrets hidden in Mars' rocky interior - by listening to how it'rings' when it is hit by meteorites or its interior rumbles. They hope the research could reveal more about how the rocky planets in our solar system formed, and reveal whether life is hiding beneath the surface. Nasa's InSight mission was due to launch earlier this year but was delayed after a leak was detected.

The race between Alphabet Inc. and Amazon to unleash the first fleet of delivery drones is now neck and neck. The White House has given Alphabet Inc.'s delivery drone service the greenlight to start testing its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at a US site. This initiative is part of The White House's project to understand this technology and what safety measures need to be implemented before unleashing flocks into the open skies. The race between Alphabet Inc. and Amazon to unleash the first fleet of delivery drones is now neck and neck. The White House has given Alphabet Inc.'s delivery drone (pictured) service the greenlight to start testing its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at a US site Alphabet Inc. first unveiled its secret two-year drone delivery project in 2014.
