US plans 'robot troops' for Iraq

Postby Mazzocchi on Sat Mar 05, 2005 10:34 am

The US military is planning to deploy robots armed with machine-guns to wage war against insurgents in Iraq.

Eighteen of the 1m-high robots, equipped with cameras and operated by remote control, are going to Iraq this spring, the Associated Press reports.

The machine is based on a robot already used by the military to disable bombs.

Theyre calling it SWORDS meaning...
Special
Weapons
Observation
Reconnaissance
Detection
Systems

If they start calling the project "SkyNet" I think we should all start to worry :lol:

I wouldn't be surprised if these robots got blown up by the insurgents. I doubt these robots are that intelligent. For example, "Officials say the robot warrior is fast, accurate and will track and attack the enemy with relatively little risk to the lives of US soldiers. "

Little risk? But still a risk, eh?
if you were killed tomorrow, i WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN THE MOTHA FUCKER THAT KILLED U!

Life imitating the Simpsons, once again.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea.
They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall
mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by
small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is
clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you.

Lisa Simpson"
