Although the Star Wars saga is set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”, the machinery and weaponry used in those films are far, far more advanced than what we currently have. Both the British and American militaries have cutting edge laser weapons in the works. Now imagine autonomous robots which are designed to kill the enemy. It’s unlikely that AI-powered, autonomous robot soldiers will be taking the battlefield anytime soon though because robot technology is still not that advanced. Now, there’s still a huge gap between robot that can do a back flip and an autonomous robot that can take to the battlefield, run, crawl and evade enemy fire.
