Terminator 4: Iraqalypse

This is totally sweet.

The US military is planning to deploy robots armed with machine-guns to wage war against insurgents in Iraq.

Eighteen of the 1m-high robots, equipped with cameras and operated by remote control, are going to Iraq this spring, the Associated Press reports.

The machine is based on a robot already used by the military to disable bombs.

Officials say the robot warrior is fast, accurate and will track and attack the enemy with relatively little risk to the lives of US soldiers.

I doubt there will ever be a way to eliminate soldiers on the ground, nor should there be lest war turn into little more than a video game. I think this is a good development, though. This follows up on the innovation of using Predator UAVs to launch Hellfire missiles.
