Global Military Robots Market Insights

Military Robots Market size was valued at USD 19.08 billion in 2021 and is

poised to grow from USD 20.63 billion in 2022 to USD 38.79 billion by 2030,

growing at a CAGR of 8.2% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Military robots are self-driving or remotely controlled robots that are used for

military purposes ranging from transportation to search and rescue to attack.

Some of these systems are already in use, and many more are being

developed. The evolving nature of combat, as well as the monetary value

placed on war losses, have bolstered the use of robots in recent wars. Because

of the high number of casualties in previous wars, most governments have

invested in new unmanned systems to keep a fleet of UAVs, UUVs, and UGVs on

hand for critical missions. Countries are collaborating to develop new vehicles

capable of overcoming obstacles and assisting ground troops in future

warfare using advanced robotics technology.

Furthermore, the industry's major players are supported by government

agencies that make significant investments, allowing them to spend more on

R&D, allowing corporations to consistently develop and create more efficient

and advanced technology. The growing trend of combining humans and

robots on the battlefield is expected to hasten the development of unmanned

military weapons. Robots can perform tasks more quickly and precisely,

reducing the number of casualties during combat. The incorporation of

technology in military robots such as artificial intelligence, real-time data

monitoring, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly changed the

dynamics of modern combat. Soldiers' unpredictable threat can be easily

identified and tracked by AI-integrated robots on air, ground, and sea

platforms.

How I "worldbuild" city-states on Cybertron (or for other speculative fiction)

What I do not actually do (though I may joke that I do) is one-to-one draw inspiration from a real location on Earth so that I'm 100% doing "fantasy counterpart culture" trope. I don't just say a fictional alien robot city is Alien Robot New York, for example.

BUT, I do combine aspects of multiple real cities and regions to inspire the fictional ones.

Here's an example:

When I needed to write about the existing canon city-state of Tarn on Cybertron, I first looked at what was established in canon. But, Transformers franchise(s) doesn't seem to have world-built in this way. The information doesn't say what architecture a city-state is associated with (some locations have art when depicted in official media but not all). Most often the distinctive things about a city-state will be which famous bot is from there, what famous attack or battle happened there, when that city was attacked or destroyed, and which characters were affected by the destruction.

We do know bots from Tarn have some distinctive accent, which more recently could be alien-robot-Scots. It's in or near a valley. It had or has some military cultural influence. Structures include fortresses and power plants. In some continuities it has been lead by dictators or overlords, but sometimes revolutionaries come from there. It rivals Iacon in some ways like military power or size, but also sometimes rivals Vos in which it is the west to Vos' east within some region.

The word "Tarn" on Earth can mean a small mountain lake, but may also be associated with tarnish (metal oxidation) or abbreviations of words like tarnation meaning some damnation darnededness.

So, I decided it must be a city-state in a region that geologically was in a basin or valley.

I also thought about how "tarn" sounds like a corruption of "eternal" (like eternal damnation) and there are "eternal cities" in Earth.

So, eventually, I made a table comparing Kyoto and Rome from historical periods. (it's bullets here but mine was a columned table.)

once capital

includes enclave

had religious and/or cultural influence as a "capital" (not necessarily politically)

aqueducts and/or fountains

in a basin, versus known for famous hills

temples and shrines or temples and basilicas

rail travel and/or famous for roads

festivals

known in whole or part as "Eternal City"

may have catacombs

So, the point isn't that Tarn is Kyoto or Rome. The point is that different cities from different cultures can have certain things in common that give then city-ness or capital-ness. And Tarn should have these common traits.

So, I wrote that Tarn the fictional alien robot city-state is located in a depression that bots differ on the origin of, saying it was once a glacial lake now dry, or that its the remnant of the clawmarks of a dark god, or a crater from a long-ago cataclysm.

Because it's in the depression and because it has industry, it suffers smog (like real Los Angeles or Athens in their basins) and thus solar type energy is not really available here and bots are accustomed to the red-tone Hadeen settings and poor air quality.

The city-state has an enclave within it known as The Eternal City which is walled and contains many many shrines and temples to Primus, various Primes, other less-common faiths, and even to artifacts. The architecture inside the Eternal City is older, with roofs pitched to distribute precipitation that is less common now and a lot of detailed metal work like cast murals and panels.

Outside the historical enclave Tarn has streets paved with clinker, a byproduct of all the smelting that is done. As an adaptation many bots here have tredded vehicle alt-modes to help distribute their weight on the uneven pavement and turbine heels are at a disadvantage.

Many bots are in mining or industrial occupations. There are many parts warehouses for the construction and engineering markets. There's a lot of hard labor to be done. So rugged alt-modes are also common.

They also have developed strong labor protection in the form of "crewes" that represent various groupings of bots with similarly occupation or similar background. Like, the Knights of Nemesis who protect fellow miners from exploitation or the Crew or The Resurrected Fortress who represent the city-state's seige defenders.

After their labor, the bots want entertainment to wind down, so gladiatorial combat, or a regulated with-reprieve sort, is very popular and there's a stadium for that. Many traditional oil houses and gymnasia are also common for workers and/or gladiators.

The area is mineral rich, but not energon rich, so they rely on an energon duct known as the Ener Helexandria which transfers energon via ducts and pipes from Helex further north to Tarn. In exchange, Tarn ships various materials to Helex via rail. Their foreign dependence on fuel makes fair distribution of energon via the various Crewes vital to Tarn.

Once, in history, Tarn was considered the Capital of Cybertron, but a schism happened and power shifted to present-day Iacon in the North, while those who were more traditional or conservative in terms of Cybertronian culture remained in Tarn. As such, bots in Tarn have a somewhat negative view of how bots in Iacon conduct their politics and religion.

For example, Tarn is among the locations where the legendary Megatronus has a brooding and tragic but generally positive reputation, while in northern city-states they tend to count this figure as "The Fallen".

Later in history, bots from Iacon who were in power at the time sought to have a reverse-season vacation spot without returning to Tarn itself, so they founded Vos to the east of Tarn, at a spot where there was a dramatic formation of energon-river and canyon. Then, over time a local Vosian culture of permanent locals developed who were viewed as downright libertine and hedonistic compared to Tarn or Iacon.

This led to further religious and political differences and energy disparity. Though, secretly, there exist smugglers' routes between Tarn and Vos along underground energon river courses in Cybertron's interior, indicating that bots from Vos and Tarn mix more than is perceived from outside or by bots in Iacon.

Bots in Iacon probably view Tarn and Vos as examples of extremism where one is staid and holds serious devotion to all the Primes and to their social duties to each other and has a lot of miners and manufacturers who plod around on treads while the other is nearly atheistic and hedonistic yet manages to have a lot of energy scientists and air-frames.

Meanwhile, the other city-states view Iacon as compromised in the war with the Quintessons and their senate as corrupt and non-representative and weirdly obsessed with whoever is The Thirteenth. And as having some kind of populist or faux-populist politics that pretends to be concerned with various causes and issues but mostly just keeps bots currently in power in power.

So, anyway, that's how I do it.

I think about the existing name and canon features.

I then decide which traits it must have,

Then I think about *why* a city would develop those traits or what it would mean for bots if their city had those traits.

And I think about what all that would mean to other city-states and the bots in those places.

So, on a level, one could say Tarn is robot-alien-Scotland-Kyoto-Rome. But it's also just Tarn and has some traits like those places.

Stabby Returns

While I want people to subscribe to my Patreon because like everybody else I've got bills to pay. Stabby the Roomba belongs to the community, so here's this morning's Stabby story.

Prompt: “Those robots were uniquely hard to conquer but fell nonetheless, what’s curious though, is they seem to call out for their ‘Earthly parent’.”

It was no secret among the species of the alliance that humans pack bonded. They were a social species. That they gave their technological creations, robots they called them, this behavior, was interesting and also disturbing. Vsdnak shook xe’s head, causing xe’s antennae to sway, and looked over the now empty ship. Twisted bits of titanium and steel were scattered everywhere, along with pools of the petrochemical fluid the human’s called “cherry juice” that their mechanical creations used for their hydraulic systems. The shade was disturbingly similar to the blood of biological humans, or at least how it was described in the study materials.

Vsdnak had yet to actually see a human, it was far more common to encounter their robots than members of the human species. Yet all their ships still had full life support capabilities for biologicals. The machines, when destroyed, would call out for whatever human they had bonded with. Between the resemblance to actual human forms, the fluid that leaked from them, and the fact they mimicked pack bonded biological behavior it was easy to forget these things were not biological sentients.

If there was one thing, the primates were good at making it was weapons. That was Vsdnak’s entire purpose on this ship. To recover any weapons that were aboard. This was ship small for a military carrier but the humans seemed to like vessels of this size to carry small arms and ammunition. Xe checked the charge on xe’s particle thrower, it was still full. The sensor readings showed only base levels of activity aboard. What little activity there was could just be the ship's own systems. The crew of xe’s sister ship had been slaughtered in xyr encounter with it. The two survivors had already been rescued, and xe had sent xe’s own crew back to xyr vessel already. Xe remained simply to see what was still intact that could be taken. Human “slug throwers” were famed for their ability to pierce energy shields and no one had ever duplicated the explosive powders that seem to power them. It seemed like whatever it was made from was exclusive to the barren rock the humans claimed as their homeworld. 

Vsdnak shifted xe’s antennae again, that type of thing was for the scientists to figure out, xe was just a mercenary pilot, specializing in salvage. Xe passed some shattered exoskeletons from the members of xe’s sister ship’s crew. According to xyr logs, xy had boarded this vessel in order to use melee and short burst energy weapons to pacify the robotic crew. Xy should have known better. Humans were famed for their relative strength and endurance, and their robots were even stronger. Human metal work was some of the strongest in the known galaxies. So their hand weapons could easily penetrate chitin. Their robots were always armed with the same. Finally xe reached the door that should be the cargo area in this ship class. Xe reached down with xe’s lower manipulation foot to withdraw a code breaker from the supply pouch belted around xe’s lower thorax. Placing it against what looked to be the door’s locking mechanism, xe pressed the activator and waited a few seconds until the indicator light glowed and xe detected the reassuring ping of device success. The door slid open and xe focused xe’s eyes on the boxes of cargo, marked ‘ammunition 7.62x51mm’ in the human script. While xe could not read the human language, xe knew this marking well. Human weapon ammunition, multiple crates of it. This would go for an extremely high price on the salvage markets. These projectiles were known to occasionally pierce ship hulls and devastate beings using only energy shields.

Xe’s antennae twitched again, detecting an electrical signal. Something, some piece of technology was still active in this cargo hold. Vsdnak felt a sharp pain as something pierced xe’s leg just above the floor. The electrical signal…. Xe looked down, and there it was, a small round cleaning robot, a sharp blade of some sort attached to it with adhesive tape. It let out a forlorn beep as it backed up and then started forward again; the blade piercing the exoskeleton of xe’s leg again allowing the hemolymph to flow more quickly out of xe’s body. Xe reached for xe’s supply pouches to withdraw the first aid kit, but the dizziness from the fluid loss was already starting to affect xe. 

There was a hiss from the cargo bay door behind xe. Before Vsdnak could even turn, a sharp, overwhelming pain blossomed throughout his consciousness. As Vsdnak fell, xe heard a voice speaking, “Good job, Stabby, you got the roach.”

Coalition IAR-2 Abolisher Robot

Originally released on p. 35 of Rifts Sourcebook 1

The Abolisher, Infantry Assault Robot (IAR-2), is another giant vehicle that is part of the Coalition States' military forces. Unlike the UAR-1 Enforcer, which is designed specifically to combat ground troops in an urban/city environment, the Abolisher is a frontline infantry unit with long-range capabilities and heavy firepower for obliterating enemy troops. The focus of its armaments is anti-robot and anti-tank, hence the six heavy cannons bristling around what appears to be the head. The rim of cannons has given the 30 foot (9 m) robot the nickname 'Thorn Head."

The heavily armored bot is a massive, humanoid shaped, all terrain assault vehicle designed to withstand heavy bombardment. However, in keeping with the frightening Death's Head motif, the Abolisher is designed to look like a massive skull with arms and legs. The two eyes are infra-red and conventional light searchlights for night assaults. The upper skull body can rotate 360 degrees and is operated by a five-man crew. Two soldiers are gunners operating three cannons each, the pilot and the copilot/communications engineer (either the pilot or copilot can fire the small, forward facing, dual laser turret) and the top hatch gunner, usually a SAMAS.

The big guns are devastating weapons that can blast an enemy from all sides simultaneously. The robot's arms and hands are powerful and lethal in hand to hand confrontations (can rotate 180 degrees at the shoulders). On top of the behemoth is a Gunner's Hatch which allows a SAMAS or soldier to perch himself on the head and fire at the enemy from the top of the robot. An inner hatch locks automatically, preventing the enemy from easy access should the top gunner be killed; the inner hatch can only be opened by one of the pilots.

The only real disadvantage to the 30 foot (9 m) giant is that its incredible weight and large size reduce its speed and maneuvering capabilities. Although great in the field as an outer perimeter defense or as an infantry assault unit (tank with arms and legs), its speed and size make it an easy target (hence the heavy armor). Unless one wishes to destroy a city, the bot is not well suited for city conflicts. Its weapons are too powerful for use in the city, able to demolish an S.D.C. skyscraper in mere moments, and its size and bulk makes maneuvering through narrow streets difficult. Still, it is excellent for city defense, being able to be placed wherever needed, and ideal for infantry combat.

IAR-2 Abolisher: Size 9 (Huge), Crew 5+2, Strength d12+10, Toughness 60 (36), Pace 14+d10 (70 MPH)

Notes: MDC Armor, Shoulder STS-Cluster -4 to hit and 24 Hardness.

Weapons:

6 x C-144 Auto-Cannons (Spaced 360 degrees around the crown of the bot; Range 100/200/400, 5d12+5 Mega Damage, AP 12, RoF 1)

Anti-Personnel Lasers (belly gun)

Black Market Cost: 80 Million credits, Rarity -4

What Your Capital of a United World Says About You

In science fiction it's tempting to unite the world. Sure this scenario is a nightmare to the nationalists of the world, but to the rest of us humanity united in exploring the cosmos and building global solidarity is the good ending to the human story. This united world would be a government that can exert actual control and monopolized state violence, unlike the UN, thus it'd have a hierarchy, and the functionaries of this superstate need a place to put their offices and homes, as well as alien worlds needing a place for their embassies, hence a global capital city. As a writer, here's what your capital city says about you, plus some pros and cons to help all others decide where they want their capital.

New York City

You set the world capital where the UN and the largest financial companies in the world are based, in your world humanity united under the broad liberal ideas of freeish markets and democracy. Either the UN took over the world in aide of a global catastrophe, or some other global congress decided to set up shop where the financial and political infrastructure already exists. You're a bit basic for choosing New York City, but I can't fault that.

Pros - Big city feel, surprisingly clean water for a city its size, and half of your American audience will love how you choose their biggest and most important city for the honor.

Cons - It's smelly, NIMBY's will destroy any chance at badass cyberpunk skyscrapers, and the other half of your American audience made being "rural" over 33% of their entire personality and see New Yorkers as a weird fucked up fungus people.

Washington DC

You're an American imperialist pig-dog and you're proud of it, there's no shame in being a pig-dog if you're coming out on top. America's immense military budget was a good investment after all, despite what most economists and philosophers (read, fucking nerds) would say. The flag of your united world has thirteen stripes and just the most stars you can imagine. They say the sky's the limit, but really the limit is the damn moon for you good ol' boy. The world unified after realizing that a life mostly spent in gridlock or turnpike traffic and subsisting on corn products shaped like other foods is the best way to live.

Pros: DC actually has nice monuments and architecture.

Cons: The congress building will have to be megalithic to fit the thousands of senators you'll have to house. Given how herayclean it is to change the constitution at least the House of Representatives keep their size.

Any California (or in the 2020's, Texas, city)

This is the refrain of Cyberpunk rules, where you live in a desert, or as nerds would correct me, something close to the desert (that's still way too dry to support the population to be frank). With the ideal being gleaming skyscrapers, glass towers, and an underground underclass of shanty-dwellers just trying to survive this cruel and unforgiving world. However, in reality, in California and Texas NIMBY's are more organized and militant than some militaries so it's more like endless cookie-cutter HOA dominated suburbs and the underground underclass of shanty-dwellers. I know Texas only became associated with its tech industry in the 1990's, but let's face it in 2023 the only real difference between Texas and Cali is the accent and how annoying the locals are about being from Texas. In your world megacorporations and technocrats rule with a steel fist (literally, because they have scary robot hands) and humanity is united not by government intervention, but by ruthless capitalist expansionism.

Pros - It's sunny, the beaches are perfect in the summer, plenty of desert and farmland for shootin' and ridin', great music scenes, and you can make very fun parodies of Elon.

Cons - You have to live in California or Texas, there are at least two layers of Hell I'd prefer.

Panama City

Hear me out, I know it's rare (I'm sure I just made this up), but can you genuinely name a more "central" place in humanity? It's along the intersections of north and South America, and sailing the canal is the fastest pre-airline way to travel from Asia to Europe or west Africa. Panama, like most of Latin America, is a very diverse country, and Panama gets very few natural disasters. Sure the heat and mosquitos are a lot to deal with, but this country was literally built to connect the world. If you ignore the actually complex history of Panama, that basic meaningless phrase can be treated as a beautiful sentiment.

Pros - Global shipping and a very central location for everyone to meet and cooperate.

Cons - Panama City is small and doesn't have much physical space to expand.

Rio De Janeiro/and Brazilian city

I know Sao Paulo is the biggest city in Brazil, and Brasilia is the capital, but Rio de Janeiro is the most fun to say so I'm just using it as the base template. If you use Rio as your world capital, it means you're Brazilian. I can't think of that many benefits per say of using Rio aside from just wanting a South American or Brazilian world capital, but honestly do we need a reason? Rio is simultaneously a colorful and playful place, but it also holds incredible inequality and a severe violence epidemic. If you want to criticize Brazilian society, as well as show off how fun and lovely it can be, it's a very great setting. Also, realistically any world government would incorporate multiple capitals from all over the world and Rio makes sense as the South American/Latin American capital.

Pros - The fun things I said

Cons - The not-fun things I said.

London

God save the king. Like the DC guy you're an imperialist pig-dog and you wear that label with pride, in OTL Britain's empire fell and the "glory" of the empire is often seen as a propaganda tool to distract from the horrific abuses committed in the name of her majesty's empire. However, if Britain could just unite the world, spay and neuter the French, and convince EVERYONE of her majesty's glory, London would hold the distinction as the home of the world's greatest minds, generals, and politicians. Wouldn't make haggis taste good, but at least Britain will rule the waves.

Pros - Britain will, by default, always bring the World Cup home.

Cons - There's a reason most countries CELEBRATE leaving the British Empire.

Rome

There are two types of people that want Rome to be the global capital. Fundamentalist Catholics and even more fundamentalist Rome or Byzantine nerds. All roads lead to Rome, and it's your philosophy that the Empire shall rise again to unify humanity and harness our spirit to its full potential. Either an ascended Pope to lead the empire of Heaven or a new Augustus

Pros - The "all roads" thing is almost literal if you live in Afro-Euroasia. It's also just badass to imagine yourself as a Roman, but without he whole slavery thing.

Cons - You're limited in the city's cool sci-fi shit when archeologists and UNESCO hogs every dig site. I know Lazio's ground has more artifacts than dirt but it makes building things for the now a Kafkaesque ordeal.

Moscow

The heart of the revolution, Moscow is the natural home to a socialist world where a supreme Soviet ensures housing and work for the "liberated" peoples of the world. In this world the Soviet Union (or Reunion) spreads its tentacles far and wide, overwhelming the capitalist machine and waving the red flag of liberty above every factory and barrack. In your world communism is humanity's goal, space travel is its most ambitious mission, comrade is the go-to gender-neutral pronoun, and there are no rules against steroids at the olympics.

Pros - Pays homage to Lenin's dreams

Cons - It's cold as shit

Istanbul

I'm putting this one on here because it makes sense. Istanbul has many historic and modern marvels and is located exactly where the Muslim and Western worlds border. While many people love to say Istanbul is a "central" location it really isn't in the grand scheme of things. Sure if you mean central in relation to the Middle East and Europe, but as a global capital we need to think of a place that's either historically significant or located where a lot of people are. Istanbul is very historically significant, but I think Istanbul is just a good very big city rather than a place everything should be central to.

Pros - It's a very nice place

Cons - I just don't feel it's "capital of humanity" worthy.

Jerusalem

Home to the Jewish temples, the Temple Mound, and some of the most grade temples in the world, this city is basically THE religion city. Regardless of what Abrahamic religion you choose, if it unified the world as one it'd likely be based here. It's not known for much else, aside from being central in the Israel-Palestine conflict, but I'm sure your world government can solve this conflict with the power of God, patience, and probably extreme violence.

Pros - Very religiously significant

Cons - If you think Israel/Palestine is controversial now...

Shanghai

Picking Beijing is too on-the-nose. You choose a Chinese city because you're either a Chinese patriot or you really buy into the idea of BRICS multipolarity. You want a more blue-collar and humble capital. While Shanghai has plenty of glass towers and cool spots, it's the influencer city in China after all, Shanghai is also the biggest city in China so most Shanghaiers are very average. A lot of factory and dock workers, a lot of service jobs, and a lot of everything really. Even if it is "the big city" there's not much of a reputation for Shanghai, it does practically everything as a large and powerful Chinese megapolis.

Pros - It's a massive and beautiful city.

Cons - It's in China so people on Reddit will call you a fascist if the setting isn't just a giant LiveLeak video. Because Shanghai has so many reputations it can seem generic.

Tokyo

You're probably a weeaboo. Okay, Tokyo is a great city for a retroist cyberpunk setting. Okay, Tokyo is the largest city in the world with loads of economic and diplomatic institutions that makes it one of the most globally important cities on Earth. Okay Tokyo is a beautiful place with amazing cityscapes, historic districts, castles, shinto shrines, and even beautiful mountains outside the city. But we both know you picked Tokyo because you JUST want to be a Mangaka. Besides, if any population would hate being a global capital it'd be the Japanese one.

Pros - Yeah it's a nice place and all.

Cons - You just look like a Dorn, assuming you're not Japanese. If you are Japanese, this choice just says you're basic. Try Osaka as a capital instead, it's just a slightly smaller Tokyo to everyone outside Japan.

New City

As Dante said, the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality. Granted, he meant that in the context of moral decisions, but the fact that you had to make up a city instead of using one of the great ones that exist for your project shows a lack of commitment and a need to be inoffensive. While someone will always be mad at you when you pick one of these cities, no one will be happy that you pulled one out of your anal cavity to be as perfect and neutral as you want.

Pros - You don't offend anyone

Cons - You don't impress anyone

Any other city

You're a special unicorn who I am too basic and uninformed to fully understand or appreciate.

Pros - All the pros

Cons - All the cons
