Many countries in the world are considering including robots in their army. Intensive research is being done on how robot soldiers can support human soldiers in war and help in winning the war. Countries like China are also included in this. But recently Britain is going to take a big step in this direction. It is including new robots in its army like the robots shown in the famous Hollywood movie Terminator.
The Army chief is set to unveil Terminator-style robots that can talk to soldiers for the first time. According to the Daily Star, they are equipped with the AI program ChatGPT and will talk and react to soldiers during training sessions on the battlefield.
Machines called Simstrikers react to a person’s words and actions. Such robots can be kept under control by calm words, but if a soldier is angry, the robot can get angry and shoot BB pellets from its belly.
Its makers insist they want to use cyborgs to “make soldiers better” in training. But will these robots end up taking over the soldiers? “Although it gives the impression of a Terminator, unlike the film we are not trying to subjugate the soldiers to the robots,” said James Crowley of the 4GD firm that invented them.

“Instead, we want to use the robot to make the soldier better. We want to use it to bring the training environment as close to the operational environment as possible,” he said. “So it yells, talks and fires back.”
Daily Star According to the report, Crowley said, “This is a leap forward in how the army can train for urban environments.” The Mustriker project is being used by personnel of the 16th Air Assault Brigade based in Colchester, Essex. So it should not be surprising if you start seeing robots in some country’s army in a short time.
