INDIA CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN ARMY OF KILLER ROBOT SOLDIERS THAT COULD BE UP AND RUNNING IN 10 YEARS

AVINASH CHANDER

INDIA is currently working on development of an army of killer robot soldiers, it has emerged.
Bosses at the country’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) plan to create super-intelligent robots to fight alongside human troops. 
 
And they believe the android squaddies will be up and running within a DECADE.

The India Times reports that they could then be deployed in and around the “Line of Control” area of the India-Pakistan border to guard Indian territory against potential attack. 
 
DRDO Director General Avinash Chander said: “We are going to work for robotic soldiers.
“We are going to look for very high level of intelligence in it than what we are talking of today. 
 
“It is a new program and a number of labs are already working in a big way on robotics. 
 
“Unmanned warfare in land and air is the future of warfare."

The bots would be equipped with special software to help them distinguish between friend and foe and Chandler says they could potentially save human lives, taking on the deadly front-line fighting 
 
He continued: “Initially, the robotic soldier may be assisting the man, but slowly in due course of time, the robotic soldier would be at the front end and the human soldier would be assisting him.”

They would also be able to venture into places human soldiers can’t, like high-radiation zones. 
 
He added: “It will have multiple technologies in terms of communication with team members and ability to recognize an enemy. 
 
“Today, you have neural networks, whenever the soldier tells [the robot] that this is a human solider, he will derive his own logic as to what is the difference between him and others. 
 
“That learning process will keep building up.”
