This video shows a robot fighting in the Vietnam war.  There are no sound during parts of the video because I wanted to show the viewers what the robot is thinking while fighting enemy forces.  The flashing text and freeze frames are the internal thoughts of the robot and not instruction text for the viewers.  These internal thoughts describe the details of how the robot produce intelligence.

My robot doesn't use:  planning programs/heuristic searches (used by MIT and Stanford University), Bayesian's probability theories for decision making, Bayesian's equation for induction and deduction, semantic networks for natural language understanding, predicate calculus, common sense systems, first-order logic, rule-based systems, genetic programming, or MACHINE LEARNING.

There are many things going on in the robot's mind while fighting a war.  There are various military rules the robot soldier has to follow.  In addition, the robot is doing multiple tasks simultaneously.  He is plotting routes, shooting enemies, following orders from a commander, analyzing the situation, making decisions, managing his weapons, planning future actions, generating common sense knowledge, and predicting what the enemy forces are thinking.

When fighting a war, it is very important to come up with good strategies.  In the Vietnam war, using the flanking maneuver was very popular, where forces are broken up into waves.  The counter to the flanking method is the pincher method, which is to surround each wave and ambush them.  The robot needs to know this and use personal judgement to counter enemy forces.

The robot works with other soldiers in a team.  He follows orders from a commander.  At the same time, the robot can also use his own judgement and take action.  For example, in one scene, the robot saw that his teammates where firing at enemies in the north side.  He knows that there are only 2 ways into the fort (north and east).  He decides to fight enemy forces in the east side because enemies can infiltrate the fort through the east.

Sometimes the robot has to make decisions really quickly.  If there are a few enemies identified, the robot can easily devise a strategy to take them out quickly.  However, if there are lots of enemies identified, the robot has to think quickly and act quickly.  In some cases, certain actions might be chaotic.  Mistakes might happen, like accidentally shooting an ally soldier.

Different robots have different jobs and follows different rules.  These military robots work in a hierarchical system, whereby orders are given in a hierarchical manner.  Foot soldiers follow orders from their commander, commanders follow orders from military officials, military officials follow orders from the White house.  Every robot working for the military knows exactly what they can and can't do.  They know who to listen to, what rules to follow, what their job is, what their powers are, and so forth.  In addition, each robot can change their job description, a foot soldier might be promoted to commander or a commander might be promoted to a high military official.  They uses military rules to synchronize their teamwork.

Military officials devise plans to attack enemy forces.  They send robot foot soldiers, robot commanders, robot combat pilots, robot helicopter pilot, robot tank, robot intelligence officers, and so forth, into the battlefield.  These military officials station units in various areas to push enemy forces back.  Each individual unit has to work together to share resources, communicate with each other, and take out enemies.  Basically, anything that human soldiers can do, this technology can also do.  It can replace every soldier working for the United States of America.  In fact, this technology can replace every human occupation.  That's the whole point of my invention:  "human" artificial intelligence.

The question to ask is:  are these robots loyal to the United States (or whichever country that built them)?  Will these robot's follow all laws of the US?  This includes the US constitution and military laws.  Although these robots were trained as soldiers, they must follow every law in the US.  This includes:  don't hurt anyone, don't rob a bank, don't vandalize property, don't shoplift, don't run a red light, etc.  When this robot is in battle, he can't target civilians, like women or children.  He has to follow all military rules and target only enemy soldiers.  The viewers can go to my website or read my patents to get the answer to this question.  I go into deep discussions about this topic. 

Why is this video so important???  Because if a robot soldier is built in the future, this is how it thinks.  These are the thoughts of the robot while fighting a war.  By the way, it is 10 times harder to build a robot janitor than to build a robot soldier (believe it or not).
