Ukraine is set to field its first officially codified domestically built grenade launcher armed ground robot, after the Ministry of Defense approved the Droid NW 40 robotic combat system for service with the country’s Defense Forces, developer DevDroid said on December 23.
I don’t think it’s a loophole. Surgeons hurt people in order to prevent a greater pain. ruZZia is just a cancer.
It’s seen as an unexpected loophole in the books. Similar to how a surgeon won’t kill one healthy person to save two with their organs.
At least on I,Robot
Edit: also, on I,Robot they harmed very specific people with very calculated results. Not like going to war, even on the defensive side.
