Although military robots are constantly evolving, they will never be as effective as human soldiers
2. What types of source am I using to defend my thesis?
I am using expert opinions, a famous and relevant articles
3. Are my arguments mostly based on evidence, logic or emotion?
My arguments are most based on evidence from experts and journalists. There's no emotion appeal. But I don't think those would be useful.
Before arguments, I would define the robot and military robot. These are are from powerful dictionary company. And I would list them. According to Doosan dictionary, it says that robot is The machine that automatically process or work the given tasks by the itself retained ability. Also, according to the Oxford dictionary, it says that robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer And, according to the Wikipedia, A robot is an automatic mechanical device often resembling a human or animal. According to a dictionary, it says the characteristics of robot. Firstly, robot should work or help out human. Secondly, work automatically Lastly, react itself to the surroundings.
And there is few definitions of military robot. According to Wikipedia, military robots are autonomous robots or remote-controlled devices designed for military applications. Such systems are currently being researched by a number of military.
Until now, we have learned the definition, The issue on military robot is important because many nations now start to research this field and this would conclude our future war.However, there are also some doubts of using this. And I disagree to military robot too. There are three reasons ; lack of judgment, possibility to be insensitive to war for people and doubts about flexibility of it.
Firstly, it lacks judgment compared to human soldiers. Even though robots developed, there is a question : Can computers and robots be truly trusted even though they are not humans? Actually, according to CBC News Broadcast Documentary team traveled all over various countries in the world, also entering the Pentagon, robotic production facilities and cutting-edge research laboratories (Mair 2011) While discovering the latest technology, they came up with a serious question that needed to be answered. This question was as follows; what are the new rules of engagement for robots that kill humans in wartime? This is a major disadvantage associated with military robots. If the future holds independent, acting robots acting on their own how would they be able to decide right from wrong? Would we hold a robot accountable for a death that shouldn’t have occurred or could we even conclude that? These are a few scenarios that one must consider as disadvantages for future military robotic use.
Secondly, we could be insensitive to the war. According to P. W. Singer, he once interviewed a drone pilot. And he said that “What one Predator drone pilot described of his experience fighting in the Iraq war while never leaving Nevada: ‘You’re going to war for 12 hours, shooting weapons at targets, directing kills on enemy combatants. Then you get in the car and you drive home, and within 20 minutes you’re sitting at the dinner table talking to your kids about their homework.’” If soldiers are using the military robot instead of human continuously, they think war is just a game to play and become insensitive to it.
Lastly, however they developed, there are limits that robot can not follow human : delicate physical manifestation and human brain. According to Satyandra Gupta from science news, even though they are developing, they lack of creativity and adaptation to changing situation. In war, similarly, there is many unsuspected variables. And it requires creativity and adaptation which robot does not have. In battlefield, therefore, military robot could be ineffective.
