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.

In Russia, the combat robot "Udar", created on the basis of the BMP-3, is being tested.

During the tests, the issues of its interaction with other promising unmanned ground complexes "Uranus", "Nerekhta" and "Soratnik", as well as aerial drones, are being worked out.

The exhibition of radar weapons systems, organized by the China Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA), China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and China Electronics Corporation (CEC), opened in Nanjing.

The head of Rostec said that the robotic version of the Russian tank, thanks to artificial intelligence, will find targets on its own

The robotic version of the Russian T-14 Armata tank, thanks to artificial intelligence, will find targets by itself, but a person will authorize the shooting. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the state corporation "Rostec" Sergey Chemezov on the air of the program "Vesti on Saturday" with Sergey Brilev on the TV channel "Russia-1".

The results of scientific research and samples of devices were demonstrated to the experts of the optoelectronic industry and representatives of the leading technical universities of the Russian Federation by the participants of the final round of the corporate project of the Shvabe holding "The Power of Light-2021".

According to experts, it will be able to determine the landing site for astronauts, as well as collect samples of lunar soil

Russian scientists are considering the possibility of delivering a robot MARFA to the moon, which will be able to collect soil samples for research. This was stated by the scientific director of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Lev Zeleny during the general meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Previously, it was assumed that this would happen in May

The carrier of unmanned underwater vehicles "Poseidon" the nuclear submarine "Khabarovsk" of project 09851 will be launched next autumn. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.

The resident of the special economic zone of the capital "Special Design and Technological Bureau of Applied Robotics" ("SKTB PR") has delivered a batch of eight mobile robotic complexes MRK-15 for the Russian law enforcement agencies, designed to neutralize explosive objects, said the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow Alexander Prokhorov.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the first unit equipped with combat robots will be formed in the Russian army in the near future. According to the head of the General Staff of the Ground Forces V. Tonkoshurov, we are talking about five "Uran-9" robocomplexes developed by specialists of 766 UPTK (Nakhabino, Moscow region). In total, the unit will receive two dozen combat vehicles.

In Nagorno-Karabakh, engineering teams of Russian peacekeepers are combing the area on the outskirts of the city of Mardakert. Before the armed conflict, there was agricultural land there. And when the war began, the military adapted them for artillery positions.

A new batch of 20 Uran-9 attack robots will soon be transferred to JSC 766 Production and Technological Equipment Management (UPTK) to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu on April 9, during an inspection of the state defense order of JSC "766 Department of Production and Technological Equipment" (UPTK) in the Moscow region, instructed to increase radiation protection for Russian military robots.

The latest heavy robotic mine-clearing system is being developed in the interests of the Russian Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry told reporters.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will continue to work on expanding the range of robotic systems for military purposes, said the head of the department, Army General Sergei Shoigu.

French soldiers will not lag behind their American counterparts. April 8, portal gizmodo.com He reported that the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr École Militaire Interarmes (EMIA) conducted a number of exercises involving robots.
