Pentagon invests in using robots to operate on wounded soldiers

"The Pentagon is awarding $12 million in grants on Monday to develop an unmanned 'trauma pod' designed to use robots to perform full scalpel-and-stitch surgeries on wounded soldiers in battlefield conditions."

This is the best DARPA can do? Why not a self-replicating nanobot that reanimates enemy corpses and turns them into freedom-loving androids?

I think DARPA types have sat through the entire Star Wars series one too many times.

THE THREE LAWS OF MILITARY ROBOTICS

1) A robot, whenever possible, must injure an enemy human being and through action, cause an enemy human being to come to the maximum possible harm including death.

2) A robot must obey only orders given it by human superiors including when such orders conflict with the First Law.

3) A robot must protect its own existence by any means as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

I think there only needs to be one Law of Military Robotics: Kill 'em all!
