目前一些国家正在组建机器人部队,一些机器人已开始执行侦察和监视任务,替代士兵站岗放哨、排雷除爆。英国谢菲尔德大学计算机系教授夏基认为,机器人的成本仅是士兵的1/10,它替人类厮杀疆场的情景,可能在10年内变成现实。美军18种机器人的作战兵团五角大楼的决策者们一致认同:10年内智能战争机器人将成为美军未来主要战斗力。这些机器人士兵必须完成一切战斗任务,包括进攻、防护、寻找目标。 At present, some countries are setting up the robot force. Some robots have begun to carry out reconnaissance and surveillance tasks, substituting the soldiers for guarding positions and demining and detonating explosives. Shaki, a professor of computer science at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, believes that the cost of a robot is only one-tenth of that of a soldier, and that it may become a reality within 10 years for the battlefield of humankind. The decision makers of the Pentagon, the corps of 18 US military robots, unanimously agreed that the smart war robot will become the main force of future combat for the U.S. military. These robot soldiers must complete all the combat tasks, including offensive, protective, looking for the target.
