SWORDS Robotic Weapons Platform

Military robots are widely used for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), reconnaissance, communications, hazmat, security, defense and rescue. TALON SWORDS robots can be configured with M240 or M249 machine guns or Barrett .50 caliber rifles for armed reconnaissance missions. The system was evaluated by the 5th Special Forces in Iraq and three systems have completed evaluation with the 3rd Infantry Division and were deployed to Iraq in 2007. Alternative weapons, including 40 mm grenade launchers and anti-tank rocket launchers, continue to be evaluated by the U.S. Army.

Wikipedia:

"A robot is an automatically guided machine which is _able to do tasks on its own_, almost always due to electronically-programmed instructions. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own."
