Mines are robots that kill not necessarily the intended people the intended way.
- pixl97 3y agoA mine is a machine, not a robot. At least the more simple mechanical mines. The distinction for robots in general is some kind of automated intelligence where it is actively selective of its targets. Some modern missiles and drones would be far better examples.
