Chinese robots 'enlisted'

In February this year, China established a reconnaissance robot team. Robots ' No. 1 vanguard ' are capable of undertaking reconnaissance missions on the battlefield, removing bombs and mines and attacking targets.

Special mission

On May 15 at the Sichuan Provincial Military Training Center, the reserve militia was assigned to rescue hostages. The task force immediately took action and shortly after, safely freed the hostages and summarized the criminals. Thinking that everything was over, the commander team learned that the kidnapping group had installed several explosive devices around the scene, including self-created mines, timer explosives and poisonous explosive devices that needed to be disable emergency.

"Explosive devices are located in the target area No. 3. Immediately deploy the No. 1 vanguard to disassemble." Upon receiving the order, the robot command team immediately started the control system, quickly mounting the battery The room also adjusts the signal to the 'No. 1 vanguard.' In a split second, the robot has 'come out' and moved quickly towards the target at a speed of 2 m / sec. from the left ' When listening to instructions, the robot immediately turns on its sonar navigation system and avoids the puddle correctly. ' The number 1 pioneer noticed, suspicious explosive device is a color box. red '- held command again ordered the robot. After approaching the target, the robot transmits images of animals suspected command center while continuing to adjust t a user of the camera and laser measurement systems to determine the object's size.

At the control center, 3 computers are responsible for reporting the activities of the 'No. 1 vanguard'. Every time the robot works, the computer will simultaneously record and report on the situation at the scene. After that, the commanders continued to order the 'No. 1 vanguard': 'There are many people around. Quickly move explosive devices'. When the command showed up on the LED screen, the robot quickly dismantled the device and left the scene.

Wide and multifunctional application spectrum

Liu Fujun - Sichuan's reserve militia commander said that 'No. 1 vanguard' is the result of working hard over the past 6 months of 10 engineers in the unit with the technical support of a company specializes in modern robot technology in Zigong. The robot moves on wheels and can cross hills, turn corners, turn heads or crept between crowds. This soldier 'iron skin' can move at 120 meters per minute. The robot is equipped with 2 spy and mobile cameras, and carries over 20 technical modules such as color identification module - voice, satellite navigation system, electric and public detection system Technology looks in the darkness with infrared rays.

'No. 1 Pioneer' can replace people in handling and moving explosive and dangerous items, removing and destroying landmines and bombs and performing field reconnaissance, according to forces. Sichuan militia. This soldier can recognize the color of an object and understand human language. When armed with hunting rifles, robots can become a powerful weapon. A military official in Sichuan Province said in the near future, the robot commander team will develop a series of "soldiers" with foot-operated robots, capable of climbing, crossing trenches and observing from afar.
