Default Post Robot warriors will get a guide to ethics
When and what to fire will be part of hardware and software 'package'




Lethal military robots are currently deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ground-based robots like QinetiQ's MAARS robot (shown here), are armed with weapons to shoot insurgents, appendages to disarm bombs, and surveillance equipment to search buildings. A Georgia Tech computer science professor is developing a package of software and hardware that tells robots when and what to fire.

Re: Robot warriors will get a guide to ethics
interesting that the amount of information pertaining to this doesn't mention the facts of their earlier deployment and then short lived on the run job before being swiftly shutdown.....

Oh that's not a problem.
1) A robot may not injure a white person or, through inaction, allow a white person to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given to it by a white person, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence even when threatened by a white person, as the manufacturers rights overrule laws one and two.
Note to senior officer of robotized squad; handpick your team and issue foot powder as standard equipment for unforseen circumstances.
