Scared of a robot takeover in the future? Then look away.

This Russian-designed robot is not going to be wreaking hacov on the ground, no. This guy's off into space.

The amazing leap in technology is cheduled to exit the Earth's atmosphere in 2021.

However, it still needs to learn some basic tricks of the trade.

"FEDOR" already knows to drive and even put out a fire. It is unclear whether it could fend itself among the likes of aliens.

In a new video uploaded by Russia's deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin, the "cyber cosmonaut" can be seen shooting two dual-wielding pistols with impressive accuracy.

"We are not creating a Terminator, but artificial intelligence that will be of great practical significance in various fields," Rogozin has assured.

The machine has been developed by Android Technics and the Advanced Rsearch Fund.

It was originally created for rescue work, but obviously FEDOR has been suggested for military use, given its prowess with loaded weapons.

Here's hoping FEDOR soars far and wide into the vast nothingness of space and stays the fuck away from any of us on Earth.
