Swarms of AI driven robots that can patrol borders from the land, sea and sky could soon be manning Europe's borders. A mass network of drones, land vehicles and water crafts is being developed into fully automated surveillance systems with the support of EU countries. Multiple sensors on roaming robots will be able to identify and track human activity and report risks to border officials. Concerns have been raised that such powerful technology in the wrong hands have could be used to develop'killer robots'. Swarms of AI driven robots that can patrol borders by surveillance of the sea (top left) and land (top right) could soon be manning Europe's borders.

Imagine you're hiking through the woods near a border. Suddenly, you hear a mechanical buzzing, like a gigantic bee. Two quadcopters have spotted you and swoop in for a closer look. They send the signals to a central server, which triangulates your exact location and feeds it back to the drones. Cameras and other sensors on the machines recognize you as human and try to ascertain your intentions.
