Marker robotic platform will be made fully autonomous
The developers of the Marker robotic platform, which is being created in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense, plan to teach Robot conduct combat operations offline, being "hundreds and thousands of kilometers away" from the operator. It is reported by RIA News with reference to the press service of NPO Aneroidnaya Tekhnika
According to the news agency, the developers of "Marker" set themselves the goal of making the platform completely autonomous in the future, capable of operating at a considerable distance from the operator.
- said in a statement.
Key technologies of ground-based robotics are currently being tested on the Marker platform. In total, three stages are planned, by the end of the project a series of five vehicles will be produced - two wheeled platforms and three tracked ones.
- said the developers of the platform.
The beginning of tests of the robotic platform "Marker", created jointly by the Foundation for Advanced Research and the NPO "Android Technology", was reported in early March last year. The platform is designed in a modular fashion. In the future, such a technical solution will make it possible to quickly replace the payload, observation systems, and also modernize the robot.
The ultimate goal of the Marker project is to create a completely autonomous complex capable of independently performing a wide range of works. The operator will be able to set a task, and the robot will solve all other issues on its own - to build a route, look for a target and use weapons.
