Abstract
As the world grows and advances, so too does technology. Rapid tech advancements have paved lots of pathways that have given us various types of applications for robotic processes. In this chapter, some of the most common robots used for the defense sector will be described; also proposed are some robots for creating helping hands for our armies along with more modernized and effective robots that further advance our defense systems via some of the most trending technologies like IoT and AI. The defense sector is one of the most crucial elements of any country in which they invest the most. According to data, India invests around $40 billion on its army and defense systems. But nowadays, with the availability of such modern and advanced technologies, the overall expenditure can be minimized. Robots can perform far better than humans as they can provide untired service to the nation with little investment and less maintenance. Robots are useful in doing repetitive task like walking at a border to secure it. Artificial intelligence is used to make robots capable of understanding the situation and react according to it. The internet of things plays a big role in connecting the robots so they can share data with each other and perform their task sefficiently. Robots also ensure zero life loss and high security at a very low cost.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), robotics, automation, robots, machine learning
3.1 Introduction
According to Sun Tzu, a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China, “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
Robotics is a rapidly growing field of technology with potentially significant applications in the defense sector which can play a significant role in warfare. Nowadays, the United States of America using drones to target enemies in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan is the best example of the use of robotics in warfare [10]. The United States Department of Defense and countries like China, Russia, and India are developing robots for a wide range of military operations. Artificial intelligence gives robots the ability to make a decision on what to do, how
