在科幻小说中,杀手机器人早已成为最热门的话题之一。颇受欢迎的《终结者》系列电影和弗雷德·萨伯哈根的《贝赛科尔》小说都讲到了武装机器人因未得到适当监控而造成的危险。虽然机器人不可能象一些人所期望的那样成为解决军事问题的灵丹妙药,而且它也不可能在战场上完全取代人类,但事实上,军用机器人正在进入陆军和海军陆战队。 Killer robots have long been one of the hottest topics in science fiction. The popular Terminator series of films and Fred Besberger’s Bezsecker novels all speak of the dangers of armed robots that have not been adequately monitored. Although robots can not be the panacea for military problems as some would expect, and it is impossible for them to completely replace humans on the battlefield, the fact is that robots are entering the army and the marines.
