The US Army took steps towards creating a Phantom Menace army. This is an army that does not require human personnel. This includes the development of robots that will perform tasks that humans can't. These systems can be integrated with other troops, protecting them from harm and keeping them out of harm's path.
The robotic system can also serve as a force multiplier on future battlefields. They can also provide new data and sensors can be positioned in new positions. They are also able to clear landmines from war-torn zones. There is still much to be done before they can join forces with the Army.
The Army currently has three main programs to test military robotics. One is the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle or OMFV, which replaces Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle. The Tracked Robot 10-Ton or TRX is another. It was built using technologies that were developed under the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport program.
Other projects include a two-armed robot. This would allow the robot to fire a non-lethal rubber bullet or a powerful "elephant killer" bullet.
Artificial intelligence is a promising project. An artificial intelligence robot can learn to do a task simply by watching video streams and communicating with a human instructor. The robot might then be capable of performing the same task.
Although robotics are becoming more realistic, it is important to remember that they cannot replace human soldiers in combat situations. In fact, AI-based robots are still learning tactics, whereas human arms have seven degrees of freedom.
An artificial intelligence program was created by the Army in order to train the robots. Machine learning algorithms are used to train the robots to perform the same tasks that a human can. However, the AI can only do so if the robotics have enough training data. The system may rely on human demonstrations to make up the difference if it doesn't have enough training data.
Another key component of artificial intelligence is robots' ability respond to changes in their environment. Robots can adjust to changing conditions using a variety if sensors, such chemical and heat sensors. A robot may adjust its behavior to avoid collisions by detecting a chemical contaminant, heat source, or other such situation.
The Army relies on other systems, in addition to artificial intelligence, to ensure that robots work safely and effectively. These systems will include a standard operating order (or SOA), that will provide guidelines for humans to follow when making their decisions. The SOA will allow humans to understand the information they receive and help them define it. When a human is trying to find a particular object, they can say "Turn left" and "Turnright".
The artificial intelligence system teaches robots how to do specific tasks. It also helps them to be more respectful. If a robot attempts to avoid a collision, it will consider whether it is within range of the target or further away.
