THE USE OF ROBOTS IN MILITARY OPERATIONS

Abstract

Technological developments of the past decades made it possible for UAVs to become really effective weapon systems. Autonomic artificial intelligence as weapons can be visualized as humanoid machines of the apocalypse directed by humans who developed them. They may however easily grow over this level as their appearance in the military and non-military operations create new aspects, concepts and needs for the developers to follow. They are present in battle as well as in our cities, in IT and the virtual world, practically everywhere. Their becoming an important factor of future development in military and non-military technology as well as the society, organizations and governance is no fiction but fact. The article, with the help of a couple of examples, will try to illustrate how many-folded the use of robots in our societies are, how they can help solve more and more of our problems and tasks, and how they generate newer and newer thoughts in us.
