Question: Do you think your technology could possibly aid an army, navy or a unit similar to the aforementioned? And if you do, how so?

Probably. I would use the sensors on the robots to help detect bombs.

Military does use plenty of robots already! South Korean border with North Korea is monitored by automatic turrets, for example. Military drones are in wide use by the USA and the UK.
My specific tech would probably help with the post-military experience. Plenty of former soldiers out there suffer from things like loneliness, misunderstanding and more serious stuff like post-traumatic stress disorder. I’d hope that domestic robotics can ease some of that.
Thinking more about that, it could also provide some relief to the soldiers or the victims of military operations, by giving them non-judgemental treatment.
War is a stressful state to be in, no doubt, and if my tech could help people stay sane in those extreme conditions – I’ll do what I can to help.

Absolutely! While my company specializes in building cars – tanks, ships, planes and submarines all need to be put together too (usually by welding or riveting the metal panels together). It’s much faster to use robots to do this than humans, especially when you think how big military vehicles are.

Well, I don’t like the idea of hurting others.
But yesterday my friend and I were discussing the possibility that our robots could be used to deliver medicines to difficult to reach areas, which could be war zones, and swarm robots can be used to find things, like people or bombs.
But I actively try to avoid defence and army/navy funded projects as I dont want to be a part of that sorry.
