"The unmanned launch and autonomous flight of our new spacecraft will take place in 2021. Now the work on fine motor skills and decision algorithms is underway", said Rogozin as reported by state-sponsored media outlet Sputnik News, who said Rogozin was quick to distance the spacebot from cylons and unruly cyborgs. Combat Robotics is key to making intelligent machines.

FEDOR (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research) is set to accompany a new generation of spacecraft for the Russian Federation and the news of his newfound pistolero skills was dropped by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

According to Rogozin, training to shoot is a way of teaching the robot to instantaneously prioritize targets and make decisions. It has already put forward a proposal to avert a robot revolution. "We are not creating a Terminator, but artificial intelligence that will be of great practical significance in various fields". The message accompanying the quick clip reads: "Russian fighting robots - guys with iron nature".

Besides having the ability to shoot guns, Fedor also has a range of other skills.

The icing on the cake came from substitute Vincent Janssen, making it four with nearly the last kick of the game from close range. Spurs have not lost a game at home in the league and their recent win puts them within four points of Chelsea.

The six-foot tall robot weighs around 233 pounds and can lift up to 44 pounds of cargo.

The robot was unveiled in 2016 by the Russian Foundation for Advanced Research Projects, the country's military research arm.

NASA is similarly testing robots for space missions such as the origami-inspired scout robot created to explore the Martian surface.

It is hoped the android will eventually be the sole passenger on Russia's new spaceship, Federatsiya in 2021 during its maiden voyage.
