Robot Kingdom Japanese samurai robot fighting contest every year to do the hidden folk are readily convertible Military

Japan has a "robot kingdom," said the production and application of robots are ranked in the world. Well-known large companies such as Hitachi, Sony are engaged in the development and manufacture of robots, people have also invested heavily in a lot of people involved in the design and development of the robot (see right).

Japanese robot fighting contest is held every year, last year's "Mystic Fire" robot come out on top. It is height 40cm, weight 2.9kg, body has 23 degrees of freedom axis, shape and animation depicting the world of robot exactly the same offense and defense, to be completed fairly complex fighting continuous action. At present, although some participating more intelligent service robots, nursing robots, cleaning robots and robotic autopilot, etc., but as long as the technology is mature, can always be easily converted to military robots, and put into production. November 7, 2007 to 8, held in Tokyo in a defense technology seminar, organized by Japan's Ministry of Defense called "committed to manufacturing products that show up", up to the Japanese anime "Mobile Suit Gundam", the invincible giant combat robot. In Japan Defense Agency announced the "pointer on the implementation of research and development", the robot technology in Japan has long been classified as a new focus on the development of military technology as well.

"Talon" "Swordsmen" "magic eye" British robot soldiers participate in military exercises

British riot robots, underwater robots already active on all fronts. In last year's military exercises, the British for the first time demonstrated the robot soldiers.

The appearance of the robot, "eagle" noticeable. It caterpillar shape of a claw hook, can be attached to a vertical wall, the front end has a camera, the picture returned soldiers in the hands of four-color screen; soldiers by remote control, make it into the enemy positions, and then detonate its body with explosives, which exploded obstacles to clear the path for the attack. "Talon" weighs about 45 kg, the maximum road speed of 4 km / h, can pass through the door or around the walls, in urban areas, remote control distance up to 800 meters, while in the wilderness area, remote control distance of up to 1.6 kilometers.

Another type of machine warriors called "swordsman", is mounted on the chassis broke robot machine guns, howitzers, or anti-tank rocket launcher and so on. In the fierce enemy fire, you can send "swordsman" arrive within range, remote it enemy fire.

The exercise also includes a robot arms "magic eye", which is a high-resolution camera, which is mounted on a thick rubber ball and polyurethane shell inside, about the size of ping-pong, from two storey fall will not break. Thrown into the middle of the enemy as long as it is, you can keep bouncing, the enemy's situation scene filmed and sent to the farthest up to 200 meters away from the control of one's own hand on the monitor.

It is reported that the British also developing a condition known as "Lightning" robots. It uses armored vehicles refitted car is equipped with a television camera, auto navigation systems, laser rangefinder and control mechanisms. Control center is equipped with high-speed computers, displays, and a variety of functional device, available from seven kilometers away via cable or digital communications system command robots all actions.

RoboCup German Wehrmacht during World War II had to do with the robot war

German Wehrmacht in October 2007 held a ground robot competition in Europe from nine European countries, 33 companies and 14 research institutes, the German Wehrmacht showcase the latest technology of the robot. Exhibition of robots variety and size from mice to a car so big, and some use of track, while others use the wheels moving. German Army, said: Germans want to use this as the future development of the ground robot soldiers, uses include scout enemy positions, as well as tracking and rescue wounded soldiers, and so on.

Currently, the German Defence Force is developing a demining robot, which uses "Leopard" main battle tank chassis, can be used to clear the surface vegetation, cut mines detonating cord, dug up and destroyed ammunition buried in the ground. The robot within 6 hours of the mine area, the equivalent of 30 experienced engineers within the mine area over the same period from 15 to 20 times.

In fact, Germany is the first country to use robot soldiers, World War II, during his robot instead of engineers and mine blasting, then Germany is essentially a remote control robot fighting vehicles and equipment, produced a total of thousands of vehicles, soldiers opened up the use of robots precedent.

Use bomb disposal robots to defend last year's G8 summit Russia isdeveloping giant robot army for defense

According to reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin July 6, 2007 chat with netizens revealed that the Russian giant robot being developed for Russia's national defense and army building.

According to reports, Russia in 2007 has successfully developed a "SUV-M3" bomb disposal robot, it can find, discover and eliminate long-distance explosive devices. In St. Petersburg at the "G8" period, Russia has for the first time. It is reported that Russia has also appeared in the robot bodyguards important conference.

While Russia developed the first robot police, was June 7, 2007 officially on duty, patrolling the streets in the city of Perm. It weight 250 kg, height 180 cm, butter, eggs shaped like a bomb, equipped with five cameras and use the help button for pedestrians. It also issued a few simple instructions, such as alcoholism exhort people not to make trouble in the streets and so on.

Currently, some countries are formed robot forces. Some robots have begun to implement the military reconnaissance and surveillance missions, replacing soldiers stand sentry, except mine explosion. Department of Computer Science University of Sheffield, Professor Sharkey believe that the cost of the robot soldier is only 1/10, it is for the human race to the battlefield scenes, will likely become a reality in 10 years. The world has been unconsciously slid into the robot arms race; while developed to decide when and to whom the robots use lethal force, perhaps in the next 10 years.
