and even battle troopers. By sending robots in first, people are kept securely out of risk. Their abilities likewise empower better nonmilitary personnel security, even in the outcome of battle, as they can defuse remaining bombs and mines [27].

      3.4.3 Autonomous Ships and Submarines

      Submarines are the hidden players of any warfare, which have the capability to change the result of warfare. Submarines have capabilities to surprise enemies. Since they operate under the water, it is very difficult to trace them. One drawback with submarines is that they need crew members to operate them. Autonomous submarines will solve this problem, and this type of submarine is currently under development.

      Autonomous ships and submarines that utilize on-board PC frameworks, GPS, sonar, laser, infrared and different sensors, are improving reconnaissance and warranting a substantial amount of investments to fund. For Sea Hunter, the operational quotes run from US$15,000 to US$20,000 every day. Contrast that with an everyday cost of around US$700,000 to operatea destroyer [23].

      In the twentieth century, approximately 108 million people were killed due to warfare, and it is estimated that approximately 150 million to 1 billion people have been killed in wars throughout all of human history [28]. Humanoid robot soldiers will help to reduce these kinds of deaths in the future. Humanoid robots are modeled like humans. Since they are designed for specific tasks, the functional abilities of these robots are different from each other. We all have seen humanoid robots in movies in which they are fighting to achieve some specific goal. Humanoid robot soldiers are a type of humanoid robot designed to model armed soldiers to participate in warfare.

      The world is busy developing humanoid robot soldiers which can replace armed forces. Some countries have developed really good humanoid robots which they keep upgrading [27]. FEDOR, a humanoid robot developed by Russia, can shoot at targets using both hands. FEDOR, which is short for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, is also known as Skybot F-850 [16]. There are many humanoid robot soldiers in development. The United States is developing an advanced humanoid robot which can replace the soldiers in the armed forces.

      Humanoid robots will be part of future wars, and a country having the latest technologies for armed robots will most probably defeat its opponent. China and the United States are busy competing with each other to become the leader in AI technology. China wants to become the leader of this emerging technology, with 2030 being the deadline to achieve this goal. It is investing billions of dollars to promote home invention and many startups in the Silicon Valley [18]. Currently, many humanoid robot soldiers are under development. Some of the military robots of the future are [31]:

       Avatar III

       Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System (CRACUNS)

       TALON

       Black Knight

       Guardium

      3.4.5 Armed Soldier Exoskeletons

      What is an armed soldier exoskeleton? Is it a robot or a human? It’s neither a robot nor a human, it’s a combination of both. Most probably everyone has seen the movie Iron Man in which there was an Iron Man suit; it is the same as that. The United States Special Operations Command, with the cooperation of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Harvard, is presently inventing a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (TALOS), which is a battery-powered exoskeleton intended to be worn by fighters to enhance strength, endurance and ergonomics [28].

      Notwithstanding a strong exoskeleton that bolsters the administrator, the suit includes physiological and organic sensors, actuators that fill in as the muscles to control the suit, processors and PCs, a cap with advanced presentation and different correspondence frameworks.

      By conserving human energy and reducing injuries, soldiers will be able to keep moving longer, reducing the amount of down time, which is a huge military advantage. Regardless of some lingering issues, the work on the main model is expected to be finished by the end of 2018. The connection between robots and the military is experiencing some dramatic changes. Rightly or wrongly, this forward-moving innovation is changing how countries handle defense, from observing enemy activity and completing missions to who we send into battle.

      Be that as it may, while robots utilized in military positions can help decrease costs, empower efficiencies and spare lives when on our side, when in the hands of the foe, or whenever given an excess of self-rule, they could introduce new dangers which could be deadlier. Therefore, new ethical protocols need to be developed to decrease the dangers.
