Robots in the Military

By Richard Spilsbury and Louise Spilsbury

Book Overview

Today, robots are responsible for much of military reconnaissance. Drones fly above enemy combatants or areas of interest and collect tons of information for military leaders. That's not all they can do! Robots find and dispose of bombs, transport troops, and shoot missiles. Readers have much to explore in the detailed main content, including specific examples of robots used by the US military and full-color photographs that give a rare close-up view of these amazing machines. From the sea to the air, robots can be found in all branches of the military, and their number will only grow as technology continues to improve.
