Real Military Robots - Autonomous Ground Vehicles

摘要

Military robots are in use right now by many military forces around the world. Most such vehicles are used in aerial operations and can, if necessary, operate with limited autonomy. Examples include unarmed Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA's) such as the Israel Aerospace Industries Heron, as was used by Australian Forces in Afghanistan and armed Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) such as the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper or MQ-1 Predator as used by the United States in various theatres as well as many other Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a great variety of forms with many different functions and capabilities.
