And jellyfish robots can be used by intelligence agencies for underwater surveillance.
Assistants in the rear
In wartime, robots are needed not only on the front lines, but also in the rear. These can be robots for transporting goods, extinguishing fires, or clearing mines.
As reported by the Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department of Ukraine, Oleksiy Biloshitsky, 10 TALON robot sappers will arrive in Ukraine in the near future. Another 12 such robots were already operating in Ukraine by February 24. They are able to both determine the location of "gifts" and neutralize them.
But this amount is not enough. According to demining experts, Ukraine is currently the most mined place on the planet. According to various estimates, it will take up to 10 years to clear the mines.
To cover the country's needs and ensure the safety of over 2,500 sapper engineers, material assets, the environment, and critical infrastructure, Ukraine needs over 500 such robots.
The US Army has agreed to provide one of its two robot dogs to help the US nonprofit HALO Trust defuse mines and other munitions in Ukraine, Foreign Policy reports .
HALO Trust, a demining company, has signed several contracts with the US government for work in Ukraine.
According to HALO Trust Executive Director Chris Whatley, sappers will use Spot, a robotic dog manufactured by Boston Dynamics, to neutralize mortar shells and cluster munitions in Bucha and Brovary, Kyiv region.
As noted, in a test session last year, Spot worked well with china number data small, unstable explosives.
Spot can help carry and stack unexploded ordnance into pits, allowing it to be safely detonated away from people in batches of 50 to 100 shells.
The robot will also help neutralize Russian POM-3 – remotely-deployed anti-personnel mines with a non-contact method of target detection.
Experts believe that the only way to deal with such mines is to use machines.
Combat robots in Ukraine
One of the first Ukrainian robotic developments used in the war with the Russian Federation is called the automatic turret "Shablya". This is a fire system that allows you to fight at a distance using a remote control. It works in the same way as a person. But at the same time it allows you to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers. "Shablya" was first assembled with the help of volunteers back in 2016 and has since undergone several transformations.
Another Ukrainian development is the Myslyvets observation and fire complex, which can perform not only combat missions, but also assist in the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield and the transportation of combat equipment.
