There are already more than 1,000 Talon robots (pictured here) in service, mainly with US forces, ranging from remote-controlled fully armed reconnaissance bots, to bomb disposal units.

The machines, built by QinetiQ, have all-weather, day/night capabilities and can navigate virtually any type of terrain.
