Terrorist groups may soon deploy killer robots against unsuspecting civilians, a British researcher warned Wednesday.

Professor Noel Sharkey of the University of Sheffield, in an address given to a defense-oriented think tank in London, pointed out that combat robots, or "autonomous weapons systems," were already being used by several countries.

"The trouble is that we can't really put the genie back in the bottle," he said in a press release before his speech to the Royal United Services Institute. "Once the new weapons are out there, they will be fairly easy to copy. How long is it going to be before the terrorists get in on the act?"


I hear they also steal old people's medicine. I had no idea that things were going so well that they literally had to resort to the threat of killer robots to try to drum up some fear.

Just so I know how much to panic, are we talking like Small Wonder robots or Transformers robots?

When they can safely load the dishwasher with 'breakable' dishes and make a cup of coffee that is NOT instant I'll be concerned about terrorbots.

A world full of Summer Glau would be an acceptable way to meet an end. Too bad I'd probably just end up getting waxed by way of spork to **** impalement.

I refuse to be scared of robots--unless they are violating our borders.

Well the pic in the story looked to me like a Dalek from Dr. Who.

Those were some pretty scary robots!

Nothing more terrifying then something that rolls slowly at you while telling you resistance is futile.
