Interesting article in yesterday's New York Times: War Machines: Recruiting Robots for Combat

Read about it @http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/28/science/28robot.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=robots%20war&st=cse

Check out the new generation of robotic weapons @http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/27/us/ROBOT.html?ref=science

What are the problems?

Any ethical issues?

What do you think?

This poses a very interesting dilemma. Yes soldiers would be safer when removed from the battle zone. However, I can see the risk of rushing headlong into a conflict if no soldiers would be killed or wounded.
