A company in San Francisco is making a robot called Phantom. This robot looks like a person and can walk and move things.
The company wants to use Phantom to help soldiers. The robot can carry supplies, check dangerous places, and maybe use weapons. The company says robots can keep soldiers safe.
Right now, Phantom is learning simple tasks like playing with blocks. It cannot work for a long time yet. The company is making a better robot that can work for six hours.
Some people think robot soldiers are a good idea. They say robots can do dangerous jobs. Other people worry about robots in war. They think it is not safe to let robots make decisions about fighting.
