America already has robots that kill civilians including women and children all the time (drone program), but that doesn't seem to bother most Americans. I don't see why robots like these, killing children in the middle east (/south america in the future) will be any different.
Itβs humans controlling robots, remotely from places like Minnesota, to kill women and children in the Middle East. It differs from a gun in its range and ability to be operated remotely. A human pulls the trigger, but does so while looking at a screen instead of a human, which makes it a lot easier to kill without conscience since a drone strike is more analogous to a video game than a war zone for its remote human operator.
