Soldier Bots Wage War Fester and Hermes | |
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. Washington Post - U.S. Tests Robots in Afghanistan
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. CS Monitor - In Afghanistan, a New Robosoldier Goes to War
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. |
