In recent years, the use of drones and other unmanned robots in warfare and other situations of violence has increased exponentially, and States continue to invest significantly into increasing the operational autonomy of such systems. The present study provides an overview of the current and...

In recent history, information and communications technologies (ICTs) have been radically advanced and largely infiltrated daily routine. Additionally, modern educational methods encourage the use of ICTs in the learning processes. Especially in the education of hard sciences like Physics, the...

In 2016, Buckingham University’s Vice-Chancellor predicted that the educators will lose their traditional role in 10 years and effectively become little more than classroom assistants (2017, News.com.au. This is supported by the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Computer Science Professor...
