“The Dawn of Killer Robots” is a short documentary by the Vice blog Motherboard that looks at the potentially deadly robots being developed for the United States military.

Primarily, it questions the ethics of creating and using autonomous lethal machines.

The video also highlights a few specific robots like Atlas, a robot developed by Boston Dynamics specifically to compete in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Challenge, an event that puts robots against each other in a series of tasks designed to test their abilities.
