Militaries around the world are investigating this technology to simplify the time, cost and safety measures necessary for training human snipers. These robots are developed by combining crucial aspects of computer science research areas including image processing, robotic kinematics and learning algorithms. The authors explain how a new humanoid robot, the iCub, uses high-speed cameras and computer vision algorithms to track the object that has been classified as a target. The robot adjusts its arm and the gun muzzle for maximum accuracy, due to a neural model that includes the parameters of its joint angles, the velocity of the bullet and the approximate distance of the target. A thorough literature review provides helpful context for the experiments. Of practical interest to military forces around the world, this brief is designed for professionals and researchers working in military robotics. It will also be useful for advanced level computer science students focused on computer vision, AI and machine learning issues. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Computer Science,$x2191-5768 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aRobotics$xMilitary applications 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aRobotics$xMilitary applications. 676 $a172.42 700 $aNath$b Vishnu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0918907 702 $aLevinson$b Stephen E.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298566403321 996 $aAutonomous Military Robotics$92060898 997 $aUNINA
