I don't think a radio jammer will work. They're not being remotely controlled. They seem pre-programmed and fully automated, if I got the gist of the videos.
Just carry a smoke grenade. Military smoke screens ain't exactly new.
And they can be opaque in the infrared band, too.
If infantrymen use smoke screens to protect themselves from human snipers, individuals can use smoke screens to protect themselves from flying quadcopter snipers.
This. Yeah, would totally dick up the facial recognition, no doubt. But in effectiveness? Not even practical. Who carries an HC Smoke grenade with them at all times? No one really. No one actually. If the threat was legit and you felt the need to carry one, I agree with you, it would work, if the robots didn't have thermal imaging. Kind of hard to think bots of this caliber would NOT have thermal, but yeah... Good call.
The other things, though, you'd have vocal recognition prolly, that would fuck up your plan. Maybe you just remain silent and cover your features with a cloud of smoke, but then you've marked your position for regular authorities who'll still arrest you. Or, in a war environment, you've still marked your presence for a circling drone or pilot over the battlefield. Kind of narrows it down, depending on the circumstances. Then you'd have to assume that the facial recognition would be hampered by smoke. What does the robot use for that? Could be anything... Visual recognition by a normal camera? Thermal recognition of your facial features? Sound recognition of your voice or a problematic sound delivered by video, such as in laser audio intercepts? You know, there's a laser microphone. How do you think it records sounds? It does it by measuring the micro-vibrations of objects in the room that react to the sound being produced. Then it registers them and makes a sound out of what was heard.
This is the kind of mole-hole no contributor wants to go down, but it is significant.
What is dumfounding is the total lack of technologically advanced people that don't understand these things. It's out there, people. Look it up..
