It is expected that the development will become the basis for the interaction of ground robots, unmanned aircraft and special forces

Specialists of the Foundation for Advanced Research (FPI) are working on the autonomous movement of the Marker group of robotic platforms coordinated in time and space. Robots during the movement along the route must go around obstacles themselves and interact with each other, the press service of the foundation told TASS.

Rheinmetall and BAE Systems' joint venture, Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL), founded in 2019, heads a consortium of British companies engaged in the research of concepts of new, economical and high-performance uninhabited ground robotic systems (Unmanned Ground Vehicles, UGV) for the British Army.

The African startup Phractyl showed a concept unlike anything we have seen before. This is an avant-garde and absurd aircraft with the likeness of "bird paws" on a caterpillar track, a tilted cabin, rotating wings and the possibility of vertical takeoff.

The German company Rheinmetall has introduced a tracked robot based on the Wiesel platform. It can be used to solve a wide range of tasks.

Otkritie Bank survey: 18% of Russians believe that robot judges will make sentences more honest

Slightly more than a third of Russians (37 percent) reacted positively to the appearance of robot judges, but in most cases citizens would like their sentence to be considered by a person, not a digital algorithm. Such data are provided in the survey of the Otkritie Bank, RIA Novosti reports.

So, the cosmonauts took part in the discussion of the readiness of the multipurpose laboratory module "Science" for flight tests, the preliminary design of Soyuz-5, Angara

Nature continues to share with us its "know-how" with great generosity, the stock of which is unlikely to ever run out, and does it completely free of charge. This time, engineers from Stanford "borrowed" from her, or rather from the falcon, its unique claws, with which it confidently sits on a variety of surfaces and deftly grabs prey.

The British company Engineered Arts has reached impressive heights in the field of robotics, to demonstrate which it has released a video with a new Ameca robot. The android machine differs in two aspects. Firstly, she has very realistic movements, including facial expressions. Secondly, Ameca is a good actress and has already managed to impress observers with her performance.
