This robot was no more autonomous than a predator drone in iraq. What it did we have been doing on a near daily basis since 9/11. When predator drones were initially armed there was a lot of talk about whether it violated the Geneva conventions or not. After deliberation it was found that it was in concordance. Are there autonomous "robots" capable of using lethal force; most definitely. There are FLIR controlled weapon mounts that will fire indescriminantly and without input from a controller. The idea of strapping an explosive to a remote controlled vehicle is nothing new.

That is an important milestone in human history of Biblical importance. Certainly more interesting than the story about the image of the rose petals appearing on the drunk man's shirt ( See Virgin of Guadalupe ) We have known for at least a year they have been using remote control drones to destroy groups of foreigners, but drones are not robots, and the alleged Jihadist are not citizens. So now we have a new worry. Will the gov't use robots to kill us ? Can we trust human-killing robots ? Can we trust men who profit from human-killing robots ? Will we build a robot designed to destroy out-of-control human-kiling robots ?
