India is about to provide its armed forces up-to-date artificial intelligence and robots. The robots occupying forward areas with weapons may still be a far-fetched thought. 

The project has been going on for the last eight months. It will equip India’s armed forces with a host of robots that can work as a team in collaboration, much like our soldiers do. 

CAIR, a DRDO "We will have a multi-layered architecture which will enable collaboration amongst a team of robots. The heterogeneous composition and collaboration capability can effectively contribute in applications such as surveillance, exploration and mapping, search, and rescue, among others."

These robots are being built keeping in mind the current military scenario which demands operations in different conditions—environmental and terrain. Besides, the robots will also be able to work in indoor conditions, enabling deployment at various key establishments.

According to the sources, it is said that "Intelligence and mobility are critical enablers for unmanned systems targeted for military operations. And, structures vary throughout the Indian landscape. Extensive research in locomotion technologies has been underway to cater to specific needs of these terrain types—mountainous, desert, rural, urban, outdoor and indoor, each presents a unique locomotion challenge to a robotic platform."
