(Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.)

By the year 2020, the United States Army is planning on having 30 percent of its forces made up of robots.

The term robot means "everything from self-driving trucks up to what you would conventionally think of as a robot," explained Bill Smart, a military expert at Washington University.

Under current military policy, every robot is tele-operated by a human, but that isn't stopping the army from pouring resources into developing vehicles that would run autonomously.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, the military is working on a robot solider that has the ability to fire on its own initiative.

We assume none of the developers have seen a movie set in the future or they would have already aborted this terrifying project.
