Abstract
While having humanoid robots that fire guns as effectively as the clones in Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones might be a distant reality, we believe that, as of now, the technology has developed enough to begin developing simplistic prototypes. The development of such robots would be a quantum leap forward in protecting our nation’s national security as well as for law enforcement.
