Robot soldiers may soon come into world

Robot soldiers got a little closer to reality Thursday as a maker of floor-cleaning automatons cooperated with a stun-gun manufacturer to arm robots for the police and the U.S. Department of Defense.By adding Tasers to robots it already makes for the military, iRobot Corp. says it hopes to give soldiers and law enforcement a defensive, non-lethal tool.But some observers fear such developments ultimately could lead to robots capable of deciding on their own when to shoot and kill."It's one more step in that direction," said John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, a military research organization.The Taser, used by thousands of law enforcement agencies, is an electric stun gun designed to help officers subdue violent suspects without nightsticks or guns."It is not the first step in that direction, but I think at some point toward the end of the next decade, you're going to start seeing RoboCops, or a Terminator," Pike said, referring to a pair of 1980s robot-themed science-fiction films. "We may see autonomous robots capable of inflicting lethal force."
