The seminar on the use of humanoid robots in the armed forces provided insight into the current state of development of such systems worldwide and explored their possible roles in the armed forces of the future.
The rapid development of humanoid robots, a specific segment of autonomous systems, poses new challenges to society at large and, consequently, to armed forces worldwide. As part of the seminar, experts presented the current state of humanoid robot development, highlighted the reasons for their potential use in military environments, addressed the technical challenges of their development, and touched on the ethical and legal issues related to their future use.
The seminar, which was organised in close cooperation with the Department of Military Technology, Research and Development of the Ministry of Defence, was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Defence and the Slovenian Armed Forces.

Letošnji seminar je posvečen uporabi humanoidnih (človeku podobnih) robotov v oboroženih silah, vpogledu v stanje razvoja tovrstnih sistemov v svetu in razmišljanju o njihovih morebitnih vlogah v oboroženih silah prihodnosti.
Hiter razvoj humanoidnih robotov, specifičnega segmenta avtonomnih sistemov, vsekakor prinaša nove izzive v širšo družbo in s tem nedvomno tudi v oborožene sile po vsem svetu. Na seminarju bodo gostujoči strokovnjaki orisali stanje razvoja humanoidnih robotov, razmišljali o razlogih za njihovo uporabo v oboroženih silah, udeležence seznanili s tehničnimi izzivi njihovega razvoja in se dotaknili tudi etičnih vprašanj njihove uporabe v prihodnosti.
