Can they be used to form an army? Further, what about that army being autonomous, able to locate and attack targets without any user intervention?
Do not confuse this use of robots with drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) which are (still) controlled by humans.

The idea of armed robots might sound far-fetched  but on the contrary the discussion that took place during the World Economic Forum in Davos, proves the exact opposite.
