Awesome stuff. Robots don't get scared or tired and make bad decisions, this is good for civilian populations. Rather than leveling a whole compound your weapons can get inside and be more precise.

Robots do what humans tell them. Humans make bad decisions.

I don't feel like kicking the door down and risking the lives of my squad. I'd rather have a pilot drop a JDAM from 30,000 feet and I don't care who else is in the building. How's that for a bad decision?

Or I can send in a robot. What you say is technically true but I think we can both agree that a robot is preferable to a JDAM.
