Collision Detection
Collision detection, also known as clipping, clipping is the detection of an intersection between two objects. When the polygons defined by their vertexes intersect one another, they have collided, or clipped one another.
Often a bounding box is used instead off the actual objects, to simplify the processing required for collision detection. The downside is that boxes make the collisions less realistic.

SWORDS - Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection Systems - & Robotic Warfare
Whenever you ask someone about robots being used to kill people, they almost without fail, think of the Terminator movies. Those few that don't, usually think of Star Wars droids, or other humanoid killing machines. Currently, we barely have two legged robots that can handle office buildings or race tracks, so these fantasies are still just fantasies. Robots deployed in war, to kill the enemy, that, is not a fantasy, and more are being produced every year.
