MOSCOW, Oct 19 - RIA Novosti. Russia conducted field tests of the Marker shock robots, which operated in an autonomous group without human participation, a source in the military-industrial complex told RIA Novosti.

"A demonstration sample of the grouping of ground-based robotic complexes was tested. Five Marker robotic platforms were involved in the group - three on a wheeled chassis and two on a tracked one," the agency interlocutor said.

The source added that "robots without human participation solved the tasks of distributing targets in a group, reaching optimal firing positions, independently reacted to operational changes in the combat situation, exchanged target designations and so on."

According to him, a group of robots independently conducted reconnaissance at the expense of the equipment and means of technical vision installed on their board. In the future, it is planned to conduct tests using unmanned aerial vehicles together with a group of robots. The source explained that "due to aerial drones, the quantitative and qualitative indicators of intelligence are significantly increased."

According to the interlocutor, the agency's use of a group of shock robots in automatic mode allows to achieve the effect of emergence (the appearance of properties in the system that are not inherent in its elements individually).

"When we have a group of disparate robots, it's just a lot of machines, each of which has a certain efficiency that can be quantified. As soon as we combine them into a group, the effectiveness of this group becomes higher than the sum of the efficiencies of the elements included in it," the source explained.

The robot "Marker" was developed by the company "Android Technology" together with the Foundation for Advanced Research. The robotic complex weighing about three tons can be equipped with various weapons, including large-caliber machine guns and grenade launchers.

Earlier it was reported that testing of the "Marker" has also begun at the Vostochny cosmodrome as a security robot. As the head of the state corporation "Roscosmos" Dmitry Rogozin noted, these complexes can be used as part of security structures as devices that ensure the safety of cosmodromes, enterprises and other objects of national importance.
