Actually, at present it is almost impossible. The developers have very well taken care of this aspect. Most of the military robots are remotely controlled by a human. And if someone has gone crazy then there is a reset button which clear there memory and they again come back to normal state.
But with the development in artificial intelligence and military robots , there should be greater attention to implicate their ability to make autonomous decision.
Today military robots use very sophisticated and advance technology for operations. They use different technologies for reconnaissance , guidance and weaponry. GPS is based on satellite connections and is even used in mobile phones. The fiber optics is a hi-tech and hi-speed communication system especially used by defense. LIDARs are based on laser communication and nowadays used by traffic police to detect over speeding vehicles.
The robots are mainly used for reconnaissance purposes but they can also carry lethal and non-lethal weapons like AGM Hellfire missiles, M saw machine guns, ammo can, bomb diffusal kits, grenades, etc.
Military robots come in different shapes and sizes as per the task they are designated for. In the development of military robots, we can consider US Mechatronics which has created or developed a working automated sentry gun and is presently developing it further for commercial as well as military use. This robot is outfitted with many cameras, radar, and a firearm that performs arbitrary patrols around a military base automatically. Their design is also task specific like, predator is for surveillance and attack from air so it is more like an airplane while TALON is for attack from ground so it is more like an armoured tank.
There are three popular classes of military robots i. UGVs i. Unmanned Ground Vehicle are those which attack from ground. They have various sensors, cameras, arms mounted on them.
The UGV like big-dog has been devised as four legged bot it can carry heavy loads that were used to be carried by soldiers. It has capability to carry load on uneven terrain. Robots like packbots are so compact, light and robust that army can carry them on their back.
Packbot manufacturer iRobot says Packbot can move more than 8 mph 13 kph , can be deployed in minutes and can withstand a 6-foot 1. Its design alows it to flip also. It is manufactured by Foster Miller. It weighs less than lbs 45 kg in its base configuration. Versatility has been designed into the TALON as well, with multiple possible configurations available that adapt the robot to the situation at hand. The UAVs are those which are used from air.
The military uses several different flying robots, mainly for reconnaissance. UAVs look like model aircraft, and they range in size from small planes that can be held by a person and launched with a good throw, like the FQM Pointer, to full-size airplanes that operate by remote control, like the RQ-4A Global Hawk. RQ-4A Global Hawk. Global Hawk Specifications.
FQM Pointer. Pointer Specifications. The next class is UUVs i. A computer and a program. A user interface for the operator.
A movement or a way of living. The use of manipulators and effectors. It is a programming language. Perception and sensing. Do The Military Use Robots? See also. A tactical combat robot with a 9 mm Glock pistol, DOGO is designed to serve as a watchdog for soldiers on the battlefield. I am RiSE. The GuardBot is a bot that protects you. A Gladiator. A robot that is programmed before it is programmed.
A humanoid robot. A robot that is augmented. In robotics, mechanics, electronics, and computer science are the three core disciplines. Other models, like the Scorpion, from Endeavor Robotics - which can have its robot parts be partially repaired by using a 3D printer - are battling it out to be selected as the Army's next metallic front-line soldier.
As for the future of Army robots? The possibilities are endless; robotic tanks, artillery vehicles, and reconnaissance vehicles may replace the tried-and-true technologies of today's armies. It's not just the American military that is utilizing these robotic elements.
Military forces around the world are embracing the technology. The French are aiming to bring robots into their army units through their "Scorpion" program. Even the Canadian military is integrating robotic "Defender Sentry Units" into their military training exercises.
If robots are indeed the future of the military, there are plenty of positive side effects to come with it. The savings - both in money and in lives - are bound to be massive, and the prospect of advanced robotics on the front lines would be a powerful deterrent. A conflict that is fought with robots could be one that costs minimal lives and limbs - or is one that may never be fought at all.
