  • As robots from Boston Dynamics and the like continue to find more widespread applications, concerns are growing around their misuse.
  • In a bid to prevent the spread of killer robots in society, a group of robotics companies have published an open letter pledging not to weaponize their machines, and pleading with users to do the same.
  • The letter goes on to include a pledge from the group to not weaponize their robots, nor support others to do so, and calls on policy-makers and users to promote their safe use.
