Marine Corps Commandant Wants Robots To Assist With 'Dirty' Work

The Marine Corps is looking for jobs that Marines currently do which robots could do better. "Being a tiny scout and slipping through doorways" is one of them. Yesterday marked 15 years to the day since the United States formally entered into a War on Terror, and after 15 long years of war, it's not hard to imagine that there must be a better way. For the United States Marine Corps, which is focused narrowly on the work of fighting America's wars, that innovation can't come soon enough. General Robert B. Neller, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, is launching an innovation challenge today, specifically asking Marines to figure out what aspect of their jobs could be better done by robots.
