This isn't new a few years ago I watched on the Military Channel that the US military used a robot to enter into caves in Afghanistan. The robot was cheaply made and carried a bomb if their were hostiles in the cave they would drive it right up to them and detonate. They also had one that would drop a bomb before being driven out.
The Police Bomb Squads have been using robots like this for almost a decade actually I think its been a decade. Also their are robotic drones like the Preditor and the F-35 can be piloted electronically as well. Ground troops will probubly start using these robots on the ground any time now.
Robots would be really valuable in Afghanistan especially when entering a house that you suspect has Taliban in it. Just drive this thing in check out the house and move the troops in safely behind it. Also I know that Canada has been working on robotic suites for soldiers to wear that would inhanse their abilities like an Iron Man suit for example.
Wars in the future will be fought with robots and robotic technology on the US said and the enemies will loose hundreds of thousands of men to them.
