Robots vs Pirates - Popular Mechanics

Robots could soon take to the high seas is search of Pirates. In other words "THEY HAVE LEARNED HOW TO SWIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And they prefer to be known as Robot-Pirates

okay, i can see where the navy is going with this, the pirates are stealing mostly communications hardware, possibly to build robuts. this could be a potential threat.
BUT,
this is no reason to mount a machine gun on top of an autonomous aquatic robut.
Machine-guns should only be mounted on boats operated by drunken hillbillies and used for sport fishing. am i wrong?

Robots would make terrible pirates, but as pirate hunters we could have a problem, since robots have as Lion-O would put it, "sight beyond sight". But as pirates they just cannot compete with real dicks.

On a practical note - can a robot be expected to tell the difference between a boat of pirates and , lets say, a boat of refuges?
