Many robots can be classified into two categories: autonomous and teleoperated. Autonomous robots are self-sufficient robots that can make decisions for themselves without external control and can be used for a long period of time. The iRobot Roomba home robotic vacuum cleaner would be considered an autonomous robot; it can navigate through a house without the control of a human. Even recently emerging self-driving cars are autonomous. They do not require any input from a human to navigate through roads and are aware of other obstacles around them. It detects the presence of other vehicles, traffic lights and obstacles in the surrounding environment to decide where to point the wheels and how fast it should go. Then it performs it by controlling the steering and accelerator of the vehicle to perform the driving. Teleoperated robots do not operate completely on their own and require assistance from a remote human to complete their tasks. Many law enforcement robots are teleoperated. Law enforcement robots help take a look at the scene without risking the life of a police officer. When a law enforcement robot is deployed, a human controls its movement and the robot would not be able to navigate the terrain on its own. Some robots qualify in both categories.> Analysis of Current Military Robots and Their CapabilitiesI. IntroductionThe United States has been researching and developing military robots for decades. A German military "robot" marks the beginning of the use of robots in warfare in the 1940s. Called the Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath or Goliath tracked mine, this was a military box on tread that was a single-use mobile bomb. It was controlled via a trailing cable and was intended to detonate upon reaching its destination. These robots were not considered…a piece of paper…a defective piece.V. Recap.
