Advances in technology robot can replace human soldiers on the battlefield. This possibility is certainly not a mere figment. Like the Terminator movies, robots dominate the battlefield and more effective in crushing the enemy.
What happened in the Terminator films was found to occur on the battlefield today. That means, the shootout at the battle could be replaced by a robot, as an upsurge in the number of human soldiers who were killed on the battlefield.
It is estimated, future wars will be more widely played by high-tech robots. The ultimate goal for minimizing the number of victims of soldiers who fought. "Now, about 8,000 robots have been deployed on the battlefield. They are believed to be carrying the mission of the military revolution. Most of the robots are now deployed ashore with a non-combat tasks such as defusing bombs and drones," he explained.
Quinn expressed, in the future is very promising the use of more troops on the battlefield robots, including unmanned vehicles of human warfare. "The closer, you'll shot. This is the excess robots capable of remotely controlled," he said, as quoted by the BBC.
He emphasized that armed robots were only operated under the control of human soldiers. The reason, until now, he said, the robot can not operate alone. However, according to Peter Singer, author of the book Wired for War, the pace of modern warfare will make people increasingly difficult to control.
Like the defense artillery systems automatically applied in Afghanistan. "The system will shoot if shot. We can not stop it, we can only turn it on," said Singer.
The question now is, what if the robots are attacking targets that are not supposed to and violate the laws of war? Patrick Lin U.S. academics are working to make robots for the military ethic, disclose, robots can be programmed to follow certain standards.
Nevertheless, he still questioned, "Is it true that we can do that with our computers?" he said. Currently, the United States (U.S.) has used sophisticated robots in battle, whether in Iraq or in Afghanistan.
The Pentagon has made a vehicle without a driver called EATR. The robot car that can refuel itself with organic material when walking long distances. EATR inventor, Dr. Robert Finkelstein of Robotic Technology Inc., revealed his findings require organic materials as fuels and more vegetarian than humans.
"Robots can only do what is programmed, and he has certain features," he added. According to Finkelstein, the robot is able to avoid mistakes made by a human soldier. He said, the robot is programmed with a little taste and made to make mistakes like killing innocent citizens, and not an enemy group.
"The robot has no emotional ties, they have no fear, they can act in some situations," he said. However, the more skeptical as Professor Noel Sharkey, founder of the International Committee for the Control of Armed Robots, said the man is more accountable while the machine is not.
"You can train a robot like whatever you want, and make it comply with all rules in the world. But, if what is programmed incorrectly, so yes it is," he explained.
With the military revolution, Christopher Coker of the London School of Economics, explained that the computer is not able to stimulate the "ethos of the hero", thinking, and ethics of professional soldiers. During this time, the military revolution of robots have been applied in aircraft such as unmanned U.S. aircraft in Afghanistan.
While the application of robots on land, is still limited. Meanwhile, Yoshiyuki Sankai, leading robot experts from Japan, created the HAL (hybrid assistive limb), the robotic clothes that have been developed to help increase energy and movement of people who wear them.
Sankai received an official invitation from the Japanese Ministry of Defense to present its "clothing robot" made. Sedanngkan Brian Hart who lost his son, John Hart, who died in the Iraq war in October 2003, making Brian succeeded in creating robotic bomb detection.
He also created a robotic vehicle that is specifically designed to defuse the bomb. Robot called LandShark (Land Shark) was equipped with a number of sophisticated sensors that can detect and disable bombs
As we know that today's artificial intelligence advances increased by a very admirable. Starting from the birth of Deep Blue which was created by IBM, is capable of defeating the legendary chess player Kaskarov. And ambitious project of Japan to create the 5th generation of computer-based Artificial Intellegence.
But did you know that the development - the development of such robots has been around since ancient times, turned out forms such as robots or robotic creature that existed before the time of BC. We might have known some people of Europe about the Golem legend (such as human beings are formed of rock or clay) or the assistant Hephaestus made of the engine - the engine of Greece. But not just any form of imagination, Ctesibius of Alexandria (250 BC) has succeeded in making organ (musical instrument) automatically.
Then sarjawan Muslims, Al - Din (1136 - 1206) who makes a design on a programmable robot. The robot according to its etymology means workers, who work hard, or slaves. Robots can be interpreted as a mechanical creature (a creature shaped like a machine). Human desire to create an intelligent creature who can work without protest and have done since the days of obedient renessaince until now. Starting from just a draft and then the dream has now become a reality
Similarly, advances in the field of robotics, especially embedded systems. P3 birth who became the embryo of a humanoid robot ASIMO has been applied to help human beings, has shown how powerful the embedded technology development particularly in the field of robotics. The development of the current robot was viewed positively by the military department of the United States. Starting from the project drones used in Gulf War II and until the robot is capable of detecting the direction of sniper fire. Development of robots that could replace human soldiers on the battlefield is not impossible has been done by countries - developed countries. This paper focuses on the presence of military robots in the future, where on one hand the presence of the robot is viewed by its developers can reduce the mortality of soldiers. On the other hand, their presence is only exacerbating the current situation.
Hardware advances, especially microprocessor and microcontroller participate and take part in robot technology. Microprocessor is the most important part of robotic technology, resulting in no longer just a robot that can walk, but can smile, laugh, sad to see the circumstances around such artificial robot Kismet Dr Cynthia. These discoveries then lead to the manufacture of robots not only concentrate on the motion, the number of feet and work tasks alone. The desire to be able to create robots that have feelings like human beings and as human intelligence began to be done. This dream may have been represented by the movie - Japanese animated films such as Astro Boy or Doraemon. Japan is a country that spends the largest funds in research and robotic research projects. It can be seen from the implementation of a robot made by this country. Starting from the robot waiter serves food until the robots are capable of replacing a television presenter.
Side of the ambitious man in the development of the robot were not just stop at the field of public service. The desire to make a tool of war that can not be refused and did not hesitate in doing the mission would be the dream of the top military brass in any country. Human soldier is considered to have a lot of drawbacks, such as moral sometimes up and down. Involvement of feeling when running the mission and the ability to disobey the orders. It is also not free from a lack of interest young people in developed countries to become soldiers. So that the conscripts had to be removed. Not to mention the cost to be incurred by the government when a soldier died on the battlefield, to the families left behind.
Things - things like the above is what resulted in a robot that can replace the role of war and soldiers on the battlefield is needed. When viewed from the side of the economy certainly is cheaper than the costs TRAINING a man to be a good soldier.
From the delivery side, the robot army is superior to human soldiers. The robot can be mass-produced army. Could be a plant can produce tens of thousands of robots in a month, than to find and merekut youth aged 18-25 years.
There are so many advantages to be gained by a country if it is able to develop robot army. No more soldiers should be waged, and no more families of soldiers who must be crying because his relatives were killed on the battlefield.
America as a superpower must have been thinking about cooking - cook about robots - robots that are capable of fighting. The presence of an unmanned combat aircraft in the Gulf War II had demonstrated the seriousness of the American military in the development of embedded systems, artificial intelligence and robotic technology in the military field.
As we know, the Internet originally was a project the United States Department of Defense to create a communication system that will not easily destroyed by physical attacks. Wireless technologies such as mobile phones have now become necessities - day communications in Indonesia, can not be separated from the military needs every soldier who wants to be able to communicate with command centers with ease. Or in Indonesia itself, the use of robots by a team Gegana in defusing bombs also includes an example implementation.
Israel itself as a country that has no good relations with its neighboring countries are also rumored to have developed tanks - tanks that wireless can be controlled remotely. Obviously this is quite remarkable when viewed from the side of the embedded technology. Can only occur in the future where every instrument - the military instrument can be moved thousands of kilometers away.
If the robot had the presence - military robots from the point of view favorable, still a robot - the robot army will still have the same goal with a human army that is as a tool used to destroy the enemy. Still targets - targets which destroyed the same, if not military hardware, building a human would. This - this is what may make some researchers / developers do not agree to the use of robots in the military.
Robots - robots or military instruments are made is certainly more effective than human soldiers, they did not hesitate in firing bullets, missiles or missile toward adults and children - children. No feelings involved only the commands and code - code instructions that are executed in the form of bits - bits by a microprocessor, 100% effective.
Humans are also quite aware of the fears about the presence of robots - robots in the military. It can be seen from the Terminator movies produced by Hollywood. Where the robot - a robot out of control military
The use of embedded systems and artificial Intellegence provide convenience to humans in various fields. Implementation of embedded systems and artificial Intellegence is a robotics technology. The function of the robot is very helpful both in the field until the medical industry. The robot also has the ability to replace humans in dangerous jobs such as working on the role of astronauts on the space station.
Polemical use of robotic technology in the military field has been the debate of experts. Be it a benefit to be gained and the losses will be felt. Any technology that created humans can be double-edged sword that can suddenly strike anyone, including his own master. This has been known since the dynamite to the atomic bomb was found.
