Watch An AI-Powered Tank Shoot Rounds And Blow Up Targets

 

Daily Mail: Rise of the killer robots! Watch an AI-powered tank shoot rounds and blow up targets in the first live fire of the unmanned 'Type-X' robotic combat vehicle 

* A robotics company showed off its AI-powered tank, dubbed Tank-X 

* The tank navigates obstacles on an open field and blows up targets 

* The idea is to let the robot head into battle, while human soldiers stay safe 

* At least 10 countries have already placed orders for the Type-X platform 

Imagine a world where wars are fought by AI-powered tanks, allowing soldiers to stay at a safe distance from the battlefield and yet, still demolish their enemies. 

Although this sounds like something out of a sci-fi film, the scenario is exactly what Milrem Robotics and Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace have shown in a first live fire of the PROTECTOR Remote Turret from the Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV). 

The unmanned tank, dubbed Type-X,’ features navigation and obstacle detection systems powered by AI and a range of weapons including 50 mm cannons, anti-tank missiles, and even a tethered drone.
