List of fictional military robots

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At Last a Perfect Soldier by Robert Minor, first published in The Masses in 1916.

Contemporary discourse about the ethical implications of military robots has been shaped by their portrayal in science fiction.[1] In particular, Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics", which set forth basic premises about human-robot relationships in his fictional universe, significantly influenced other science fiction writers and helped to establish many of them as experts taken seriously by military policy makers.[1]

The following is a list of fictional works with military robots.
