Lately, I’ve been thinking about the heavy reliance of the Indian Armed Forces on human soldiers, which often leads to unnecessary casualties. With advancements in AI and robotics, isn’t it possible for our forces to coordinate human soldiers with machine soldiers? This integration could save lives and enhance both offensive and defensive capabilities. Given the progress in robotics within India, it’s high time our Armed Forces start incorporating robots into daily operations. From a cost perspective, robots are more efficient and eliminate the risk of human casualties. Embracing robotics could provide our forces with a significant asymmetric and strategic edge. #Robots #Robotics #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #IndianArmedForces #IndianArmy #MilitaryTech #DefenseTech #ModernWarfare #Innovation #MilitaryRobotics #FutureWarfare #TechInMilitary #MilitaryInnovation #SaveLives #StrategicEdge #MachineSoldiers

Advanced army robots more likely to be blamed for deaths: Advanced killer robots are more likely to blamed for civilian deaths than military machines, new research has revealed. The study shows that high-tech bots will be held more responsible for fatalities in identical incidents. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DataScience

https://lnkd.in/gPHKWqHZ Are we 10-15 years behind? Insights from #DRDO #Chairman Samir V Kamat! 🚀 At the 15th Air Chief Marshal LM Khatre Memorial Lecture, he highlighted the urgent need for stronger collaboration between #academia, #industry, and #defense #R&D to tackle emerging challenges. We need to focus on building engineering skills and upgrading infrastructure for cutting-edge research in India. With disruptive technologies, we can leapfrog 10-15 years in defense tech. Let's push the boundaries of innovation with high-risk, high-reward projects and better R&D spending. 💡 Big takeaway: Learning from the #Kaveri #engine—building a platform and engine simultaneously is a rookie mistake. Collaborating with global OEMs could be a game-changer. Focus on Research & Development! #EngineeringExcellence #DefenceInnovation #Collaboration #R&D #FutureTech #LearningOpportunity #InnovationLeadership #IndiaTech

Estonian #defence sector just got huge step forward! General Martin Herem, the former Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, is joining Milrem Robotics. This is a significant move that underscores the importance of experience and strategic knowledge in advancing #military technology. 💡📢 The company is known for its THeMIS and Multiscope UGVs, the Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle, and MIFIK intelligent #autonomous functionalities for defence platforms. “The war in Ukraine and the usage of Milrem Robotics’ #THeMIS and other ground robots on the battlefield has demonstrated the importance of these systems and the growing need to #develop them further so that they can better fulfill their mission – keeping soldiers as far from danger as possible,” said Herem. “My goal will be to ensure that what has been learned on the Ukrainian battlefield will be implemented in future #robotic systems,” he added.

China's Military Robots Seven years ago, I published a down-beat assessment of China's military robotics effort (see below). I identified three obstacles: "the nascent state of the Chinese robotics industry, the low informatization in Chinese armed forces, and lack of clear champions for Chinese robot armies or navies." I am now updating this assessment. I would welcome any input. 2017 view: "China is developing autonomous weapons systems and military robots. Though evidence is sparse, the pace and scale of activities are likely behind those of the United States. Even the US armed forces face enormous challenges developing and deploying killer robots–lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS)–in combat. For China, these challenges are magnified by the nascent state of the Chinese robotics industry, the low informatization in Chinese armed forces, and lack of clear champions for Chinese robot armies or navies. Specialists agree that the arrival date of the robotics revolution in military affairs is hard to predict. As for the United States, China’s military robots may not constitute the threat currently ascribed. China will avoid ethical dilemmas Western countries face in use of military robots."

Scale AI raised $1 Billion funding at $14 Billion valuation. This company provides labeled data for Autonomous Vehicle (AV) companies. Interesting part is.. Scale AI has also been serving United States Armed Forces. Scale has pitched itself as a company that assist the U.S. military in its existential battle with #China by offering to pull better insights out of data, build better AVs and even create chatbots that can help advise military commanders during combat. Cofounder Wang describes himself as a "China hawk" stated “The U.S. will not be able to maintain its technological edge over the rising military power of China without AI”. #Day28/30 of sharing business use cases of #AI Like, share, and follow if you find the post insightful :)

The Defence BattleLab team is always working toward developing capabilities to facilitate Innovation activities. Our small robotics systems are currently being utilised as learning platforms for a group of Defence Innovators who are making great progress in advancing their own and others' knowledge of Robotics. The platforms are proving to be a key element of a current exercise that will shape future activities. We also have another group of Defence Innovators working on our deployable capabilities that will support field activities for Robotics Autonomous Systems. This project will see them collaborate with a variety of suppliers and users to develop something of value for the whole of Defence. Finally, we are pulling the above together with another program of work with a UK Ministry of Defence user who is collaborating with several SMEs to develop work that will future-proof us as a force and enable Defence customers to remain ahead of the technology curb. Three sets of activities all pulling together into a Defence purpose, it's what we do. Picture - A throw back to when Army Warfighter Experiment held their demos and down selection at the Battlelab working with Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), Defence and Security Accelerator, Dstl and British Army. We are looking forward to working with the next iteration of AWE. #battlelab #defence #innovation #smes #ministryofdefence #collaboration #culture #security #technology #robotics #ras
