Military Robotics
Research
Military robots are basically robots that are able to fight. Robots can keep soldiers out of danger by replacing some of their jobs. They could be autonomous robots or remote-controlled devices. They are war machines that have automatic functions. They have the ability to be very accurate.
Advantages
Fewer human casualties, and robots don’t get tired or scared.
Robots are easily replaceable - experienced soldiers aren't.
Risks
Robots are expensive.
A robot might not respond well to situations that are very different to what it was programmed to expect.
A robot can't can’t do some stuff that humans can.

Application for Solving World Hunger
The military can send UAVs to fly around LEDCs to find possible farm fields and then after locating possible places, they can send ground vehicles to scan the land and build farm fields which then can grow crops for the hungry people. Also the military can build long air-strips for bigger airplanes to land and trucks with food and then drive around giving monthly food.
Military robots can guard the fields - (eg drones to monitor movement), protecting farms from big pests or thieves.
