When it comes to robots, people think of industrial production lines.

Modern practical robots have swept the world since their birth in the 1950s. In 2014, global industrial robot sales were 225,000 units, an increase of 27% over 2013, of which Asia sales accounted for about two-thirds, and sales in the five major markets of China, South Korea, Japan, the United States and Germany accounted for 75% of global industrial robot sales about. The industry engaged in robots has also rapidly expanded from the original single industry to agriculture, transportation, commerce, scientific research and other industries. Although robots were later in the army than other industries, they have received increasing attention from the military circles of various countries since their emergence in the Indochina battlefield in the 1960s. As a new army, although it is difficult to do anything right now, its huge military potential and superhuman combat effectiveness indicate that robots will be a military force that cannot be ignored in the future war stage.

Trilogy of Military Robot Development

Robots were put into the industrial practicability research group in the 1940s. They started from the research of artificial limbs and have developed to the third generation.

Overview

In theory, since a robot is a human-like automaton, as long as humans are capable of working, the robot can replace it. However, due to the limitation of science and technology level, so far no matter the generation of robots, its intelligence level, reaction ability and flexibility of movement are still far behind natural people. Therefore, the large-scale application of robots in military collar towns still requires a process. At present, the most widely considered application fields abroad are:

For direct combat missions

Replacing front-line soldiers with robots to reduce casualties and bloodshed is currently the most important issue when developing robots in Russia and the United States. Such machines under development are:

1. Fixed defense robot. It is a rivet-like combat robot. It is equipped with a target detection system, various weapons and weapon control systems. It is fixed at the front of the defensive position and mainly performs defensive combat tasks. When invincible, the robot is concealed into a semi-underground state; when the target detection system detects an enemy impact, it uses the lifting device to quickly drill out of the ground to resist the attacking enemy.

2. Aoditex I walking robot. This robot was developed by the American company Odytex and is mainly used for mobile combat. It looks exactly like

Adopt advanced artificial intelligence to develop more advanced intelligent robots

Foreign scientists believe that the development of future military robots will tend to use fifth-generation computers to break through

The most amazing thing is the robot soldier who specializes in collecting military information. It can be called an excellent scout. According to news media reports, military powers have developed more than 100 robot scouts that can perform a variety of land, sea, and air reconnaissance tasks. The simplest is to use a launcher to glue the reconnaissance robot to each other's buildings, equipment, and mobiles. On the transportation vehicle, the information is obtained through the miniature camera system on the robot, and the information is transmitted back to the headquarters by transmitting signals. The more advanced is to let the "robot bird" fly over the enemy, take a lot of pictures and record images, and then bring back the analysis information. This robot bird can perform tasks at night, and its infrared night vision system will not let any suspicious places pass. It is said that the auditory sensor on the robot bird can distinguish sounds with a strength lower than 30 decibels. The photovoltaic cells on the bird have high lighting efficiency, and they can continue to fly for 200 kilometers during the day. At night, robot birds rely on high-efficiency batteries for power.

Robot soldiers are high-tech products. With the continuous improvement and progress of computer technology, optoelectronic technology, communication technology and automation technology, robots are developing to a higher level. Pentagon military robot experts believe that it is not a problem for robot soldiers to enter the practical stage. The next task is to make this special military method more economical and cheaper. Experts believe that robot soldiers can avoid the sacrifice of more soldiers, and it can become a heroic warrior who maintains world peace and human settlement.

When intelligent mines are placed on the battlefield, the manifestations of local wars will be greatly changed; coupled with the application of other information systems, the future battlefield, whether macro or micro, will reflect the characteristics of intelligence.
