We as human kind don't want robots. Well, rather, we don't know that
we want robots. And no one is suggesting that we don't try to solve
difficult problems. I'm saying that we don't want to use complicated,
convoluted solutions to problems that have been solved efficiently.
We've solved the build space colonies problem? What do problems on
Earth have to do with future problems in orbit? Are you suggesting we
wait until we're actually in orbit and realize that our Earth-based
solutions don't apply in space before moving forward on thinking beyond
the here and now?
And no, I'm not involved in writing control loops for flying mech,
Well, there you go then. While I assume that writing them would be
harder I can't state, as you attempt to, that they absolutely are. And
flying in atmosphere over a planet isn't the same as flying through
space, right?
but I've worked on writing control loops and they are not trivial. A
flying mech is even worse. Not that it's impossible, but resources
are limited and better spent figuring out other problems instead.
In war I would say that resources are expended on the war effort and if
a solution seems like it could work, they will be expended on them. On
the off-chance. Especially if the country has a lot of resources to
expend or it's in the fight of its life.
