Robots are used to automate picking fruit on orchards at a cost lower than that of human pickers.
Domestic robots
The Roomba domestic vacuum cleaner robot does a single, menial job. Domestic robots are simple robots dedicated to a single task work in home use. They are used in simple but often disliked jobs, such as vacuum cleaning, floor washing, and lawn mowing. An example of a domestic robot is a Roomba.
Military robots
Military robots include the SWORDS robot which is currently used in ground-based combat. It can use a variety of weapons and there is some discussion of giving it some degree of autonomy in battleground situations.[159][160][161]
Unmanned combat air vehicles (UCAVs), which are an upgraded form of UAVs, can do a wide variety of missions, including combat. UCAVs are being designed such as the BAE Systems Mantis which would have the ability to fly themselves, to pick their own course and target, and to make most decisions on their own.[162] The BAE Taranis is a UCAV built by Great Britain which can fly across continents without a pilot and has new means to avoid detection.[163] Flight trials are expected to begin in 2011.[164]
The AAAI has studied this topic in depth[111] and its president has commissioned a study to look at this issue.[165]
Some have suggested a need to build "Friendly AI", meaning that the advances which are already occurring with AI should also include an effort to make AI intrinsically friendly and humane.[166] Several such measures reportedly already exist, with robot-heavy countries such as Japan and South Korea[167] having begun to pass regulations requiring robots to be equipped with safety systems, and possibly sets of 'laws' akin to Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.[168][169] An official report was issued in 2009 by the Japanese government's Robot Industry Policy Committee.[170] Chinese officials and researchers have issued a report suggesting a set of ethical rules, and a set of new legal guidelines referred to as "Robot Legal Studies."[171] Some concern has been expressed over a possible occurrence of robots telling apparent falsehoods.[172]
