Soldier Bots Wage War

Quick mention of a couple articles about military robots. The first, Hermes, uses many sensors and cameras to patrol dangerous terrain and explore Afghani caves.

The second is an expensive tank-like contraption named Fester. It can be clumbsy at times, but it's the first U.S. robot to be used in a wartime environment.

On a related military tone but in simulation instead, the Ledger Enquirer reports of the Army Working on Battlefield Video Game. The artificially intelligent soldiers are used to test and train troups.
