Never Fight a Land War in Asia... In Person

A Yahoo story on military land robots: "The war in Afghanistan is the first time robots are being used by the U.S. military as tools for combat." [via robots.net]

The robots being used are "semi-autonomous" PackBots from Rodney Brooks' iRobot, but again it seems like only a matter of time before they're mostly autonomous.
