So I have been pondering this idea that is the quagmire of unmanned equipment serving along side the armed forces.
In the 90's we were stunned by self driving cars, soon to be revealed was a self driving HUMVEE in the early 2000's.
Now the question I have for the forums here is a question not just the military, but civil authorities and perhaps all of the general population would be facing one day in one form or another.
But as an armed services member how would you feel working in close conditions with an %100 autonomous robot working alongside you?
From supporting roles to combat missions. The idea was again demonstrated in last years Pacific RIMPACT exercise, interest of exploring unmanned equipment operating at a personal level with servicemen and women is being discussed for the future and explored. It's only logical to to suggest that eventually these will include man sized platforms capable of supporting or even combat roles right along side their human counter parts.
My real point of focus is for members who obviously have military experience , how would you feel having a robot doing your job along side you?
How you feel if that man sized robot carried a weapon?
Honestly like it or not, as long as the Congressional Defense committee is around, it's more of an eventuality at this point, but the questions will still need to be answered, whether now or 20 or 30 years for now.
And once the military picks up the idea, make no mistake, the private industry will not be very far behind.
Thoughts?
-Yo.
