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.



One of the steps in the development of the project is to increase the autonomy. The control range of similar robotic platforms is limited to 2-5 kilometers. One of the goals of the developers is to teach the robotic complex to perform tasks independently at a greater distance from the operator, at a distance of hundreds and thousands of kilometers in the future

- 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.

The fifth platform, which will be developed by June 2021, will combine all the best acquired knowledge and competencies over the entire period of work on the project

- 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.

      The nuclear power plant will provide the necessary autonomy. Moreover, the operator will be far away.

          For this, the operator is removed away.

            I'm afraid for full AI the operator will be the main enemy. And those on whom they incite him personally did not do anything bad. This is the operator, he (AI) is sent to death. Given the fact that the AI ​​knows where the operator is, if I were the AI, I would first get rid of him. And then I would already think what's what.

                  in! this is closer to reality. in accordance with the program, the module will protect the operator and annihilate everything that the operator defines as hostile, by the way, without the operator's participation. myself. there is a program, there is a definition of our stranger, we act.

                    A program is not AI by definition. It should at least be really self-learning. And when full independence is obtained, it is far from the fact that it will not decide why it is necessary to fight crowds of enemies, if it is much easier to eliminate the operator. Purely logically, the survival mechanism will prompt this particular solution as the most effective. And without all this, there can be no question of any intelligence. Everything else is just an ordinary program with a preset and fixed algorithm.

                      um .. so you assume that the self-learning program learns everything, itself, as it wants? what
                      no, that's not how it works. training a combat vehicle should increase the survivability of the vehicle and the effectiveness of defeating the enemy. all. no choice "friend or foe". if the program does not provide for the choice "friend or foe" then it cannot change. the program only learns how to kill as many "blues" as possible, protect the "reds" as effectively as possible, and at the same time get the least damage. do you understand? there is no definition of who is red and who is blue in the tutorial.

                      sorry, why the heck ??? belay Why does a combat vehicle need complete independence? AI is not "independence", AI is the ability to evolve within an established framework. there is an AI that draws pictures and he improves his drawing skills and learns various drawing techniques, but he will never write poetry and learn to fly wink he does not even know how to speak and write and will never learn this because it is not in the program request
                      PS
                      your problem is that you think that intelligence is only human, and AI is necessarily a copy of human intelligence. this is fundamentally wrong. AI is development within the established framework and expansion of the framework is always an increase in the volume of labor costs for creating AI, and in geometric progression.
                      PS PS
                      by the way, even for human intelligence, "independence" is not a required parameter wink

            Not only in stones, in the whole complex. You need to process a huge amount of data from video to weather conditions, analyze it and make a decision based on the analysis. All this in real time. For ground complexes, these data are by an order of magnitude larger than air ones. I don't follow Elbrus, I'm not interested, I read the parameters once, neighing and forgot about it.

                We can make cars and airplanes on radio control, there is no technology for something serious. In fairness, radio-controlled technology is also needed, one does not cancel the other. The same Uranium 9 has been needed for sappers for a long time. The Hurt Locker shows how a similar system works and how it differs in size from ours. For ground vehicles it is not important, for aviation over critical.
