US ARMY to use armed robots


Recommended Posts

Here is a link to the story of armed robots soon to be sent to Iraq.

While these are not autonomous yet, it seems that is the goal. "For the forseeable future, a human will be in the loop to decide 'friend or foe". Great news, for those who were hoping for the development of lethal, autonomous battalions of killing machines.

Dear PocketRocket,

I'm also surprised they haven't implemented something bigger, like a miniature tank with small-caliber artillery capability.
Actually, they have. Should be deployed in the next couple of years. The Predator Drone has also been 'weaponized', and former Pres. Clinton tried to use it to take out Bin Laden on a couple of occasions.
