Robotic engineers designing the next generation artificial intelligence androids will need to make use of new materials and potentially special alloys. These artificially intelligent androids will need to have an outer shell, which is strong but flexible. It must appear to be soft yet have the strength to protect its precious cargo inside; the brains and computer systems. Additionally the weight this saved all the exterior of the outer shell can help lower the weight overall, as the internal components such as batteries, motherboards, CPUs, transformers and power systems will indeed be heavy.Further, the military will need agile, maneuverable and strong artificial intelligent android robots to complete its future mission to build a future fighting forces for the modern net-centric BattleSpace.

Currently, systems are being devised which can supplement humans using exoskeletons, however the next generation will be fully robotic artificial intelligent android soldiers which will be deployed against the enemy. Robotic warfare is a future and it makes sense.The money saved and training, hospitalization of casualties and salaries will be immense.

Indeed, General Patton once said; Armies move on their stomachs. And thus the logistical supply chain for food, water and personal items the humans need is also very costly. All these things must be considered and this perhaps is the biggest reason for a robotic army. Even with the cost savings we must also understand that such artificially intelligent android robots will not be cheap to build or make and therefore we need to build the tough, durable and able to take rapid small arms fire.

The strength of materials and the special alloys chosen are paramount. Please consider this in 2006.
