Kosal, a professor at the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Second, advancements in robotics and machine learning make possible the autonomous systems that go beyond your standard seek-and-destroy unmanned torpedo, she said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;But what will the Navy use them for?
