It is no secret that robots are rapidly asserting themselves in today's military applications. For the duration of the Iraq War, robots have roamed the streets of Baghdad, Fallujah, and other Iraqi cities. And, last summer, we saw the introduction of the first-ever armed robots being deployed into battle — the "special weapons observation remote reconnaissance direct action system" (SWORDS) robots come equipped with M249 machine guns and were designed not just for reconnaissance, but also warfare.
