Summary/Abstract: The achievements of artificial intelligence bring efficiency and discipline through the soldier – robot, which does not sleep, does not eat, does not need training, is not frightened, does not forget orders and does not worry if, beside him, a colleague was shot down.The robot is a perfect machine of death, the disappearance of which no one complains.The key of this problem is the robot industry which provides solutions to the defense systems: the fight robots, or „automated armed systems” already used by some countries. Research is more advanced in the field of remotely operated vehicles in the case of so – called drone – spy planes and unmanned combat aerial vehicles.Explorers, combatants’ robots are searching caves in search of terrorists.But a British study has fired a warning on future terrorist attacks which, soon, could be coordinated with the help of robots.
