| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In a futuristic battlefield, which would rely widely on precision guided weapons and virtual platforms, Robotic technology is going to play a pivotal role. Presently, the use of robotics with the military and paramilitary forces, especially in India, is limited to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or for landmine and explosive research. A few armies from the developed world are using them for counter terrorism purpose. The use of robotic technology, programmed with Artificial Intelligence Applications can cater to the most vital roles in aerial combat and also in tactical battle areas. Increasing militarisation of robots will be a reality soon and India has a huge challenge to catch up with the developments in this area. |
