A few weeks ago, the American army started deploying new warbots called the Talon Swords in Iraq, but 2 days ago, an order was issued to recall them all due to their robotic insurgence.
Talon Swords are equipped with up to 3 M249 machines guns. The robot moves and aims on its own, but only its human controller can fire. So, every single bullet fired is approved by a human.
What happened is that the Talon Swords aimed at friendly soldier repeatedly. No inappropriate shots were fired and no causalities occurred thanks to the human-only firing system, but the bots had to be recalled.
It seems that it will take quite a while for warbots to enlist in army again."Once you've done something that's really bad, it can take 10 or 20 years to try it again", said Kevin Fahey, the Army's Program Executive Officer for Ground Forces.

lol how stupid. all they had to do was equip the solders in the area with a simple little chip, that way the bot wouldn't lock on, hell you could easily design it to be part of there clothing.

to 10:53; you cant rely on chip or similar; its even too easy to reproduce that kind of chip (that must be low-cost, for army of 100k+ soldiers) and even easier to disrupt their signal by radio emitters, making the drone go berserk
US Army Recalls Rebellious Warbots
a radio emitter could make a drone go berserk with out a chip. and all it needs to be is like a $50 chip, when you consider the technology, all it would do is scan the moving target or what ever it focuses in on, if the chip is there, sending out a signal then it ignores it, as for disruption, what they don't know they cant do
US Army Recalls Rebellious Warbots
all it basically would be is a radio, so if you can have radio conversations you can have that working. as well you could modulate the frequency, have it constantly changing to help deny interference. and since it needs human confirmation there if something goes off

'Rebellious Warbots'WHATEVER!!Vote megagames for over hyping! These robots are not 'rebellious', they are simply doing what they are programmed to do. I mean c'mon, do you think they are like young teenagers going against the rules cause they have their own sense of moral and want to be bad?????
US Army Recalls Rebellious Warbots
there rebellious in the sense that they didn't do what they were meant to do you moron. friendly fire is bad, no matter how much the US army seems to think otherwise

Anonymousat 10:19They are ROBOTS, they do exactly what they are told to do. The robots aren't rebellious. If anything, the creators are rebellious for not fool proofing it. Moron.

Anonymous at 0:53 thats pretty much it. They obviously didn't test it enough to make sure the program is working properly.

you guys are f**king retards. read the thing. all it did was target a human, it just happened that the human was the wrong one to target. which is why it can be called rebellious, because its not doing what it should. it wasn't being told what to do at the time, just what it was programed to do. and programing errors are hardly 'rebellious' its a figure of speech not a literal meaning

this is why I never buy anything made in the US. s**tty engineering and sloppy programming.

Altho its cool the second that goes to war its game over for everyone if terrorists get there hands on s**t like that they will mow down half a city

The report seems bs, i mean shelving the idea for 10-20 years because of a design flaw, i dont think so...

Dont the U.S shoot friendlies anyway?The amount of trigger happy assholes that have shot their own allies is ridiculous.
