Human intelligence takes a heightened position in
the modern age as the use of robotic rescue equipment offers emerging
opportunities to enhance military capabilities. Human intelligence matched with
robotic equipment creates stronger interfaces between the two that extends
human capabilities. Petrisor, et. al. (2013) discusses how e-learning in a
digitized battlefield creates cooperation between human and artificial
intelligence in obtaining higher performance.
The idea for developing learning and adapting
machines was first introduced in the 1950’s by BF Skinner who wrote The Science of Learning and the Art of Teaching
as well as Teaching Machines. As a
behavioral psychologist he developed a machine that not only was intrinsically rewarding
to students but also rewarded them externally for correct answers.
The use of machines as well as the platform by which
students learn has radically improved. Online learning can do much more than
Skinner’s early experiments and now integrates various forms of media,
communication tools, and content to produce highly intensive programs for students
to learn and develop.
Online learning is a leading method of integrating
various technologies to help operate military robotics. The ability to use
information quickly, integrate technology, focus on managing and effectively
controlling robots has been tested by the Robo-Security Min-robot Project with
significant success.
The world of robotics is present and we will need
military members with high technological skills, theoretical knowledge, and
virtual functionality to work within this field. Online education is seen as an
important method of training military members who work in these fields and ensuring
that they understand how their senses work with virtual information and
physical outputs. Programs are still in their infancy and are still in the
process of being developed.
