The USA, Israel, Ukraine, Germany, and China are now using robotics for preparations for war. However, it remains a complex question whether the use of robotics in warfare is effective.
Experts believe that robotics can perform dangerous tasks, such as bomb disposal in hostile environments, reducing the risks to human soldiers. Using drones to scout the enemy positions before sending in troops can save lives. This is so because robotic systems are equipped with advanced sensors, and AI can often engage targets with greater precision than human soldiers, minimizing collateral damage.
Another important factor in using robotics is that it can operate for extended periods without fatigue, enabling it to perform tasks that would be impossible for humans. Surveillance drones can maintain a constant watch over an area for days or weeks.
Additionally, AI-powered robots can analyze vast amounts of data and provide commanders with real-time intelligence, thereby enhancing decision-making on the battlefield. AI systems can identify patterns in enemy movements and predict future attacks.
However, AI-powered robots can exhibit unpredictable behavior in complex and dynamic environments that could potentially lead to unintended consequences. An autonomous robot might misinterpret a situation and escalate a conflict unnecessarily.
The effectiveness of robotics varies depending on the specific tasks it is used for. They may be more effective in some roles, such as bomb disposal or surveillance, than in others, such as direct combat.
