Robotic platform "Marker" tested in a completely autonomous mode
The experimental robotic platform "Marker" was tested in a completely autonomous mode, the tests were carried out in the Chelyabinsk region. This was reported by the press service of the Foundation for Advanced Study (FPI).
According to the report, the platform automatically covered 30 km along an unprepared route - forest-steppe with snow cover. Having received the route assignment only with the coordinates of the point of arrival, "Marker" independently laid the route and ensured arrival at the destination in an hour and a half, relying on the data of the technical vision system.
- says the FPI message.
In the future plans of the developers, the autonomous movement of the platform over a distance of 50, 100 and 200 km.
The start of testing the Marker robotic platform, created jointly by the Advanced Research Foundation and the Android Technology NPO, was reported in early March 2019. The platform is developed on a modular basis. In the future, such a technical solution will allow you to quickly replace the payload, surveillance systems, as well as upgrade 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.
