According to press release by Israeli military, the Jaguar robot is semi-autonomous, with capacity to drive itself to a designated target and spot obstacles on its way, but requires human operator to actually command the robot to fire it’s machine gun — or, if it’s compromised, to self-destruct.
Despite the fact that the robots need human operators to actually pull the trigger through a “point-and-shoot” interface, Jaguar’s software has the capability to automatically adjust its aim to have a better target of what it assumes the human operator was commanding it to shoot at, Daily Beast noted. That little add-on, and preprogrammed ability to fire automatically, in some cases, is an indication that in near future killer robots will posses the ability to unilaterally select and fire human targets on their own volitions.
The Palestinian-Israeli border at Gaza is been guarded by thick walls, naval blockade, machine guns turrets, drones, and armed soldiers. The addition of tank-like robots has made Palestine’s Gaza Strip a prison guard under lock and key. This will in no doubt heighten the tension in that region.
