The British Army has recruited Terminator-style robots to help train soldiers in battleground scenarios.

If the soldier becomes angry, the robot, called SimStriker, can become hostile and fire BB pellets from its abdomen. In contrast, a calmer soldier will help control the situation.

In one battleground scenario, soldiers must face SimStriker in a village where locals need food, electricity and medical supplies, The Telegraph reports.

It comes amid a move to use better technology and AI to prepare for complex future warfare. Pictured: Soldiers in Salisbury demonstrate the EXO Insight glasses which are an eye tracking virtual behaviour monitoring system

Army trainers can also manually alter the robot's mood from a control room if they want to make the scenario more challenging for the soldier.

It is an unprecedented breakthrough in technology for the army, who can now train its soldiers against a 'thinking' enemy. Soldiers are used to training with static wooden targets.

Hi. Since I graduated from college, I've been trying to find cool new interesting things to do. Creating special effects wins as my favorite.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

UFO Hunting, With Harvard Data: Astrophysicist Advocates For Scientific Investigation

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
