Well given that the definition of human has been up for debate for a good chunk of human history I guess we're just going to cover the same ground. One of the key aspects of definition of a robot is the device's ability to react and decide based on input from it's environment. Is a plain ol' machine gun a robot? No, because it lacks the 'decision' bit. I do agree that there are any number of other military toys that are open to interpretation. LOL!

What's a machine gun? (a robotic machine, but in most cases a human activates the trigger). And what about the robotic technology various military (namely the US and Israel) are reportedly working on? Is an armed 'spy plane' or 'insect missle' a 'robot' or a 'human guided machine'? You can bet the miliary will create it's own definitions of a robot to suit their needs. Depends on their definition of a ‘robot’ in the first place. What’s a machine gun?
