Robots May Fight for the Army
Lightweight, super-strong robots will lead human soldiers into battle within 10 years -- at least according to iRobot.
The robots, called small unmanned ground vehicles, or SUGVs, will detect the presence of chemical and biological weapons, identify targets for artillery and infantrymen, and ferret out snipers hiding inside urban buildings. Today, humans mainly perform these tasks, often becoming the first casualties of battle while looking for snipers or explosives.
