The US Navy has published photos of a large underwater robot Snakehead, which was launched in February. According to The Drive, the military previously said that Snakehead would be the largest uninhabited vehicle to launch from submarines. First, he will do intelligence and data collection.

Outdated military equipment will still serve as robots. On February 18, the press service of the Turkish company FNSS showed a video with tests of robotic combat vehicles created on the basis of the M113 BMP.

Researchers from Changchun Institute of Optics, Precision Mechanics and Physics have developed a snake robot for repairs in orbit. According to the South China Morning Post, it consists of nine segments, each of which can generate a torque of 190 newton meters.

The US military deployed the M-LIDS system at the Polish airport

The United States has transferred new equipment to combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Poland. Radars, air defense systems (air defense) and a system of protection against drones were noticed at the airport of the city of Zamosc, Defense Express reports.

A virtual environment for simulating the operation of the Marker robotics complex in various settings and with various equipment was created at the NGO Android Technology and the Robotics Research Institute of the Southern Federal University, Evgeny Dudorov, executive director of Android Technology, told RIA Novosti.

The Russian robotic complex "Marker" was tested as a near-hand air defense system for the destruction of small unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as kamikaze drones. "Marker" detected drones in automatic mode and hit them at short distances.

The Russian robotic complex "Marker" has been successfully tested as a near-hand air defense system, which will be able to effectively destroy small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including kamikaze drones, Yevgeny Dudorov, executive director of the Marker developer enterprise - NGO Android Technology, told RIA Novosti.

Roscosmos posted on YouTube a video with a prototype of the anthropomorphic robot "Teledroid"

Roscosmos posted on YouTube a video with a prototype of the anthropomorphic robot "Teledroid", developed by the Scientific and Production Association (NGO) "Android Technology" and the Rocket and Space Corporation (RSC) "Energy".

Estonian robotic platforms are going abroad. Yesterday, February 8, the portal armyrecognition.com He reported that Milrem Robotics has announced the delivery of the THeMIS Combat robotic platform to Thailand.

Following the protection of military facilities, robosobaks stood up to protect the borders of the United States. February 7, portal building-tech.org reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) The United States has announced a successful test of four-legged robots.

The US Marine Corps tested the Hunter Wolf wheeled robot from HDT Global in mountain conditions. Earlier, the Marines tested the four-legged LS3 robot, considering it too noisy.

"Teledroid" will be able to work in the aggressive environment of outer space and perform experimental testing of typical operations in both copying and automatic mode

The anthropomorphic robot of the new generation "Teledroid" was demonstrated on Monday at the state corporation Roscosmos. It will be able to replace astronauts during work in outer space and is able to function in automatic and copying human actions modes, according to the state corporation's website.

Last year, more robots joined the U.S. workforce than ever before. They took over the work from collecting bottles and cans from sorting conveyors of waste processing plants to packing small consumer goods in cardboard boxes in warehouses of online stores.

Ground combat robots are being improved. On February 4, the American company Northrop Grumman on its official YouTube channel published a video of tests of an unmanned combat vehicle with cannon armament.

The Americans will control the coastal waters with the help of surface robots. On January 31, the press service of the US Navy Central Command (NAVCENT) announced the beginning of successful operation of the Saildrone Explorer autonomous vehicle.

In many countries, robotic systems controlled by surgeons are increasingly being used to perform laparoscopic (with small incisions) operations. However, scientists from Johns Hopkins University (USA) have developed a Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), a surgical robot capable of operating on patients completely independently.

Thermal imagers of various types have been actively used in various branches of the leading armies of the world for a long time. Therefore, the developers of targets and all kinds of false targets are trying to make their products at landfills look like real when using such sights and surveillance devices.

The Italian Armed Forces are launching a five-year project to introduce robotics into military service. On January 28, Nexter's press service announced that the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), together with Milrem (the general contractor of the program), selected Nexter robotics as part of the evaluation of ground and airborne robotic platforms for the Italian army.

According to one of the leading Chinese publications Global Times, the country has created the world's largest bionic robot-yak, capable of carrying loads weighing up to 160 kg at a speed of about 10 km / h. In the future, he will carry the equipment of soldiers serving in remote areas.
