Reply to comment by pete_68 in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

You should read Snowcrash. That description is of the dog thing as the books call it.

In Gibson's Count Zero didn't the hero's brother have "augmented guard dogs" that were grafted to mechanical hoods?

I have not read that book by Gibson, him and Stephenson always seem to have similar thoughts though. It is funny in both of their essay books they have an essay about their experiences with the other one.
