War Toys

Quick mention of a facinating Wired article, that shows the tight link between military hardware and toys; Why War Is Really Just a Game. The examples taken include a flying UAV, very small, very light, almost like a gadget!

Not only is there great similarities between real robots and the toy versions, but the latter can also be used in research environments too, to develop Artificial Intelligence algorithms (Sony's Aibo, the flying helium Zeppelin, robo-helicopters...)
