Tests of the Russian experimental robotic platform "Marker", designed for full-scale testing of technologies and basic elements of ground-based robotics, were shown on video. The corresponding video on YouTube is published by the Foundation for Advanced Research (FPI).

During the exercises held last month, a unit of the ground forces of the Estonian Defense Army resisted a simulated attack by enemy armored vehicles, the function of which was performed by the body of a decommissioned car. The main forces were on the defensive a kilometer away from the imaginary enemy. Milrem Robotics ' unmanned ground robot THeMIS, equipped with the deFNder machine gun system, was sent to help them.

The latest robotic mine-clearing complex "Uran-6"has entered service with the engineer-sapper regiment of the Southern Military District (SE) in the Krasnodar Territory.

China has created a multi-axle universal heavy-duty armored car. The other day, its presentation took place.

The new product was developed by Taian Special Vehicle, a company specializing in the production of heavy-duty vehicles.

Scans conducted by scientists at University College London and the University of Oxford showed that people who use a robotic "Third Thumb" change the brain activity responsible for the movement of the hand. This allows them to learn how to use a manipulator to solve complex tasks, such as stirring coffee in a cup or building a tower of wooden bars, in just a few days. The results of the study are published in the journal Science Robotics.

Roscosmos does not rule out continuing participation in the ISS project after 2025, the decision is up to the president, Alexander Bloshenko, executive director of the state Corporation for Science, told Interfax.

Russia has launched mass production of combat robots with artificial intelligence, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said.

In particular, different legal entities, companies and teams of remotely distributed designers will be able to work with the same 3D model of the product

The virtual reality complex being created at Roscosmos will be used for the production of equipment by remote designers. This was reported to TASS by the director of the Department of digital development of Roscosmos Konstantin Shadrin.

The EMERCOM of Russia will have its own design bureau for the development of robotic systems of the future. It sounds loud, but maybe that's not just how it will be on paper. At least, the scientists of the Ministry of Emergency Situations have already signed an agreement with the Central Research Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics on cooperation and very much hope for success.

Aviation Week magazine predicts an explosive rise in the popularity of attack drones. In their new report 2021 Military Fleet & MRO Forecast, analysts of the publication compared the popularity of existing drones, indicating that in the future their number will only increase.

The Teledroid robot for open space will be able to work in orbit for 3-4 years, although according to the technical specification it should be operated for six months. This was announced on Tuesday, May 18, by the company-developer of the robotic complex NPO "Android Technology".

The company Hydromea has introduced an underwater robot with a camera and wireless control using optical signals. Wireless communication allows you to control the robot and receive video from it at a distance of up to 50 meters.

Increasingly, the hardest and most dangerous work goes to robotic machines. In the future, robots can completely replace a person on the front line. A new video from Hanwha Defense shows its latest developments for the army.

Specialists of the Military Academy of Logistics (VA MTO, St. Petersburg) named after General of the Army Khrulev came up with a project of a unique transport-loading robot based on one of the most massive tractors in the Russian army MT-LB (also known as "Motoliga"), follows from a document published on the website of Rospatent.

The Teledroid robot can be placed not on the ISS, but on a promising Russian orbital station

The first prototype of the scientific equipment of the robot project "Teledroid", designed to work in outer space, will appear in February 2022. This is stated in the message of the NGO "Android Technology", distributed on Tuesday.

Estonian company Milrem Robotics has announced the signing of a distribution and maintenance agreement with the Australian company XTEK Ltd., as well as the delivery of the first ground-based remote-controlled machine THeMIS.

Patrolling the Israeli borders will be conducted by robots. May 4, portal defence-blog.com He reported that the IDF has begun deploying Jaguar automated vehicles on the border with the Gaza Strip.

Army Research Laboratory (USA) robotics engineers are studying the possibility of integrating "live" muscles into combat robots to perform motor functions instead of mechanical arms, wheels and tracks.

The US Army is developing the a-shape (alpha-shape) technique, which will ensure the joint work of several robots in conditions of poor communication between them or even complete lack of it. It will help groups of autonomous robots achieve their goals without interfering with each other and without duplicating actions, even though they will not be able to communicate with each other.

Since December last year, the New York Police Department (NYPD) has decided to use a modified Spot robot to perform explosive disposal missions so as not to endanger police officers. It was used several times to check the interior of a home that had been burglarized before police officers entered.
