Long used for explosives detection and disposal, robots of all kinds are being brought into the Air Forces's civil engineering arena. The Micro Tactical Ground Robot is one such device among a fleet of options to help engineers clear, repair and ...
In contemporary sci-fi—HBO's “Westworld,” for example—sentient machines take up arms against humanity. In the real world, intelligent—and increasingly autonomous—robots are being created with weapons already in hand. More than 16 countries (not to ...
The US Army recently announced that it is developing the first drones that can spot and target vehicles and people using artificial intelligence (AI). This is a big step forward. Whereas current military drones are still controlled by people, this new technology will decide who to kill with almost no human involvement.
AI-powered robot arms engineered by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh place precise drops of chemical reagents in test tubes under the guise of human supervisors.
