headline:
"New Tactics Used in Robot Bombing 9" Curious how the news often refers to German V-1s as "robot bombs".
Today we'd call it a cruise missile, with the idea of "robotics" limited to automated machines that build cars, etc.
It would be interesting to learn when "robots" stopped including flying machines.
