This series of table-top exercises provided an opportunity to investigate the interplay between human involvement, autonomy and use of lethal force. Based on the discussions with experts, we might conclude that: Systems that perform all steps of the targeting cycle outside of any form of human control or supervision are not technically feasible, militarily desirable or legally permissible. On the other hand, those systems which introduce degrees of autonomy in the execution of selected tasks might be technically feasible, militarily desirable or legally permissible, depending on the context, conditions and circumstances and provided that appropriate operational and legal frameworks are applied throughout the life cycle of the weapon system and across all steps of the targeting cycle. A secondary outcome of the exercise was the horizontal transfer of knowledge--both within and among expert communities--which will support informed participation of Member States to the important discussions within the GGE on LAWS.

The development and use of robotics is affecting all aspects of modern life. There is a demand not only for robots that can move, interact, learn, and act in real-time dynamic and unconstrained environments but also for those that can interact smoothly and safely with the actions and movements of people within the same environments. In addition to managing complex motor coordination, these robots also require the ability to acquire and represent knowledge, deal with uncertainty at different operational levels, learn, reason, adapt, and have the autonomy to make intelligent decisions and act upon them. They should be able to learn from interaction, anticipate the outcomes of actions, acquire experiences and use them as required for future activities. Cognitive robotics is the interdisciplinary term used to describe robots that merge all these features and capabilities in their hardware and software architectures.
