A military robot is a machine that has been designed to replace human soldiers. These robots do not require food, sleep, or shelter from the elements. They do not have feelings, passions or emotions. It is possible to reduce the amount of unethical behavior soldiers can display. Additionally, they don't suffer from stress, fatigue, strain, or other symptoms that soldiers experience.
AVATAR III
AVATARIII military robot is highly customizable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The robot comes with a plug-and-play payload bay that allows users to customize the robot to their needs. The robot can be customized to detect, target and eliminate moving force. The AVATAR III also has the same tactical capabilities and features as its larger brother, the AVATAR IIITactical Robot. It features dual IR LED and LED lights as well as a sturdy, drop-resistant chassis.
The AVATAR III has many capabilities that go beyond the battlefield. It aids law enforcement officers and first responders in assessing and responding to dangerous situations. It's extremely rugged and can be customized. It can use multiple wireless channels simultaneously, has two-way sound and can also operate on audio. The robot is also capable of navigating a variety of different terrain types and environments, making it an excellent choice for combat or law enforcement missions.
REDOWL
iRobot's military robot, REDOWL has been developed. It's based on neural network circuitry that mimics nerve cells' behavior. However, unlike other robots, the REDOWL does not have a programming language and has to learn by trial and error. It can detect gunshots and predict the sound's direction. Then it is given the difference between the guesses made and the actual location and then goes through another trial. This is how it learns and eventually develops a neural connection to the sound source.
The REDOWL robot is equipped with an array of acoustic systems and optics systems that can determine the source and direction of gunfire. A packbot is attached to it, which is a small robot tank. The modified Xbox controller is used to control the robot. It is capable of entering dangerous buildings and can spot gunfire within milliseconds. It has two wide-angle cameras as well as a thermal imaging camera that can identify targets. This makes it ideal to use for surveillance, perimeter protection, hostage/barcade situations, surveillance and daytime urban surveillance.
MUTT
The MUTT military robotic can be used for many purposes, including assisting ground troops in combat and remote operations. Because of its advanced technology, it is an ideal tool to lighten the load on ground forces. It can also be remotely controlled and operated by telecommand and can enhance combat power projection and stand-off from enemies. Its flexibility allows it to be modified to accept new payloads, controllers or increase levels of autonomy.
The GDLS created the MUTT military robotics. It is based upon the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport(SMMET) program. This program is intended to expand the boundaries of autonomous operations and change the paradigm in manned/unmanned warfare. It is scheduled to be fielded to IBCTs by 2022. It has varying levels of autonomy and is designed for direct and indirect fire, autonomous resupply, and EW mission. It can also be used to counter drone operations.
BigDog
Boston Dynamics is developing a military robot called the BigDog. The robot can travel long distances and carry supplies and soldiers. BigDog has been designed to be able to traverse terrains of all kinds. It can also cross enemy minefields and positions. This makes it a great tool to support a unit without putting them at danger. It is strong and durable, so it can carry many items.
Boston Dynamics, which developed the BigDog robot, has worked closely with DARPA. The BigDog is a military robot that can cross many types of terrains, and provide supplies for soldiers in the field. AlphaDog (a seven-ton robotic military robot funded by DARPA) was also designed to be a leader in combat formations.
