The use of robots in warfare, although traditionally a topic for science fiction, is being researched as a possible future means of fighting wars. Already several military robots have been developed by various armies. Some believe the future of modern warfare will be fought by automated weapons systems. [5]

An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
Across the US military, the services are experimenting with robot dogs. The Marine Corps has tested its systems with remote assault rifles and anti-armor rocket launchers. In some cases, these ...
The robot is controlled through a two-way radio or fiber-optic link from a portable or wearable Operator Control Unit that provides continuous data and video feedback for precise vehicle positioning. Regular (IED/EOD) TALON: Carries sensors and a robotic manipulator , which are used by the U.S. military for explosive ordnance disposal and ...
PackBot being demonstrated by the French military A PackBot used in explosive ordnance disposal training with US and Saudi Arabian forces in 2021. PackBot is a series of military robots by Endeavor Robotics (previously by iRobot [1]), an international robotics company founded in 2016, created from iRobot, that previously produced military robots since 1990.
One obstacle to the deployment of MAARS, and armed unmanned ground vehicles in general, is the reluctance of military leaders to utilize remote-controlled weapon systems at ground level. One concern is collateral damage, as 7.62 NATO bullets fired by the machine gun can travel further than sensors mounted on the robot.
The vehicle is operated from a safe distance by a combination of augmented artificial intelligence (AI) and a remote system operator which means it considerably raises troop survivability and lowers lethality risks by increasing standoff distance from enemy units.
