Video | Watch the world's most advanced military robots in action

While the tech world is not only limited to offices and personal entertainment, the advancements are being used in almost everything you see around you today. But given the fact that the security forces around the world have been developing the craziest stuff out there, the military, especially, are presently years ahead of anything out there.

Robots are machines capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. They can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed to take on human form but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to how they look. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patent assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones such as General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own.

These robots are being developed not only take on the enemy on the battle field, but also to help save lives. Check out some of the most advanced military-developed robots in action.
