Chapter 1: Military robot

Autonomous or remote-controlled mobile robots that have been created specifically for use in the military, whether for transport, search and rescue, or offensive purposes, these machines are known as military robots.

There are already a few of these kinds of systems in operation, and many more are now in the process of being developed.

Military robots may be traced back to World War II and the Cold War in the shape of the German Goliath tracked mines and the Soviet teletanks, respectively. This definition of military robots is somewhat broad. CIA agents started to see the first realistic returns on their decade-old ambition of deploying airborne robots to gather intelligence was when the MQB-1 Predator drone was introduced.

An experimental weapon system known as Dragon Firing II has shown a lot of promise in artillery research recently. This system automates the loading and ballistics calculations that are necessary for accurate anticipated fire, and it provides a reaction time of 12 seconds to fire support requests. However, military weapons are not allowed to be totally autonomous since they need human input at particular intervention points. This is done to guarantee that targets are not located inside restricted firing regions, which are outlined in the Geneva Conventions for the laws of war.

There has been some progress made in the creation of pilotless fighter planes and bombers. The use of autonomous fighters and bombers to destroy enemy targets is particularly promising due to the absence of training requirements for robotic pilots, the fact that autonomous planes are capable of performing maneuvers that could not otherwise be done with human pilots (due to high amounts of G-force), the fact that plane designs do not require a life support system, and the fact that the loss of a plane does not necessarily mean the loss of a pilot. The incapacity of robotic systems to adapt to non-standard circumstances is, nevertheless, the most significant problem associated with their use. In the not-too-distant future, advancements in artificial intelligence could assist to find a solution to this problem.

A Kargu 2 drone successfully tracked down and killed a human target in Libya in the year 2020.

according to a report from the UN Security Council’s Panel of Experts on Libya, released in the month of March 2021.

It's possible that this was the very first occasion a self-driving killer robot that was outfitted with deadly armaments assaulted humans.

Robotic troops of the PLA have been stationed on the border between China and India.

US Mechatronics has created a functional automated sentry gun, and the company is now striving to improve the product so that it may be used in commercial and military settings.

MIDARS, a four-wheeled robot outfitted with several cameras, radar, and possibly a firearm, that automatically performs random or preprogrammed patrols around a military base or other government installation. It alerts a human overseer when it detects movement in unauthorized areas, or other programmed conditions. The operator can then instruct the robot to ignore the event, or take over remote control to deal with an intruder, or to get better camera views of an emergency. The robot would also regularly scan radio frequency identification tags (RFID) placed on stored inventory as it passed and report any missing items.

Tactical Autonomous Combatant (TAC) units are discussed in the research Unmanned Effects: Taking the Human out of the Loop that was conducted by Project Alpha.

Since 2005, the United States Army has been hard at work developing an experimental robotic weapon system called the Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System.

The Mobile Autonomous Robot Software research program was initiated by the Pentagon in December of 2003. As part of this initiative, the Pentagon acquired 15 Segways in an effort to create more technologically sophisticated military robots.

By removing active service members from the battlefield who would otherwise be at risk of death, autonomous robots would make it possible to rescue and protect the lives of warriors. During a presentation at a conference in 2011, Lieutenant General Richard Lynch, who is also the Assistant Army Chief of Staff for Installation and works for the United States Army Installation Management Command, stated:

As I think about what’s happening on the battlefield today ..

My argument is that there are things we can do to increase the chances of our military personnel surviving a hostile environment.

And you all know that’s true.

The following are some of the benefits that robotic technology may bring to combat, as detailed by Major Kenneth Rose of the Training and Doctrine Command of the United States Army:

There is no such thing as machine fatigue. They do not seem to be closing their eyes. They don't run for cover beneath the trees when it starts to rain, and they don't converse with their pals... The first thirty minutes of a human being on guard duty are marked by a significant decline in their attention to detail... The machines have no concept of fear.

Also receiving a growing amount of focus is the question of how to make the robots more self-sufficient, with the long-term goal of someday enabling them to function independently for longer stretches of time, even even behind enemy lines. Systems such as the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot, which is meant to acquire its own energy by scavenging for plant materials, are being tested for such roles while they are currently being developed. The vast majority of military robots are remote-controlled and do not carry any kind of armament; instead, these robots are used for tasks such as reconnaissance, surveillance, sniper identification, and defusing explosive devices, among other things. Robots that are armed with weapons at this time must be remotely controlled in order to fire them; as a result, they are unable to kill people on their own. Because of this, the factors such as exhaustion, tension, emotion, and adrenaline that might drive a human soldier to make hasty judgments are eliminated; as a result, there will be no influence on the battlefield brought about by the decisions made by the person.

Human rights organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like Human Rights Watch and the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots have initiated a campaign to encourage governments and the United Nations to pass legislation that will prohibit the creation of so-called lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS).

There have been reports of American troops giving the robots that serve beside them individual names. These names are often chosen to memorialize human friends, family members, celebrities, pets, or other animals, or they are eponymic in nature.
