I want to make super-fast-drying-epoxy-filled paintballs to thwart these things. Shoot their joints and shoot any sensors they have, such as cameras etc.

Just because we can build cute dancing videos of the robot dogs - they are a platform that will be used in combat - and valid counter-measures are going to be needed as well.

I think possibly the most succinct illustration of the rapid progress in robotics driven by AI is the switch from 'Video Played at 10x Speed' to 'Video Played at Half Speed'
