    Man, I need to sort through the 500gb of military info on my hard drives. Who else knows what I have in there.

    This: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/40gECrmuCaU/maxresdefault.jpg much?

    Exactly what I thought, maybe they are developing their own version. Would be really cool to see though, we get a machine gun on ours.

    Apparently the US has scrapped their's http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/us-army-scraps-42m-darpa-robot-being-too-noisy-1535185

    So now it's just Russia... with guns. Heh.

    Good question.

    If they are going for walkers then do it real big and make a god damn Metal Gear and if they fail they at least have the highest ambitions instead of wasting money for the worst concepts out there.

    Why do you thing walking robots is the worst concept? It is technically challenging but somehow evolution made animal run on 4s not roll on wheels

    I don't think the walking concept for robots is the worst concept, i think that thing and alike Boston Dynamics Dog is a worst concept they could come up with. The easiest and at the same time the most useless in this concept. I know technology isn't that advanced in robotics yet but there are still better ways to make a robot useful in the military application with a walking concept without doing this tourret born thing from hells science kitchen.

    I think the idea is to gain experience working with robots and develop expertise in this field over time, you cant jump to advanced designs all of a sudden

    That does not mean that you have to waste so much money on concepts that are failures from start on. It is ok to learn from some failures but you do not need to make a concept that is destined to fail and try to learn from that.

    Of course concepts are mostly failures. That is what concepts are for.

    Why is russia taking the same failed path as Boston Dynamics?

    Not really same path, "Mule" was supposed to be large cargo robot, this one is small combat robot. Besides, developing electronics and software is what is important here.

    Where are these pics from anyway?

    That does not mean that you have to waste so much money on concepts that are failures from start on. It is ok to learn from some failures but you do not need to make a concept that is destined to fail and try to learn from that.

    Didn't the Soviets have walking robots back in the 1970-80's? I remember seeing a tv feature showcasing them.

    I think for walking robots to work they'll have shape motors and gears similar to musculature. I honestly think if their going to have walking robots then they should have 8 legs like a spider as it will bring superior stability and mobility.

    It'll be noisy, and have poor endurance, as it's mechanically similar to Boston Dynamic's machines. It wont be a viable weapon. BD's walking method of constantly falling and readjusting is very inefficient. A real, functional war machine will have to be completely different mechanically, so any software discoveries that follow this design are a dead end.

    A walking war machine will be big as it needs a gas engine, and an electric generator. Hydraulics are too loud, so the articulation will have to be done using torsion and electric engines. The storage, passive generation, and controlled release of torsion force is the only viable way to manage mechanical energy. It's how our legs function, as designed by thousands of years of evolution. Boston Dynamics and now Russia are not following evolution, they are producing something that "looks" like natural walking, but doesn't function like it.

    While the BD packmule was useless as an real field machine (what combat team would want to traverse enemy held territory accompanied by that absurd monstrosity whirring and slurping at 80 dBs?) the important path is the development of both technology and the engineers & techs working in the field.    Even if the machine is not a viable system, there are useful learnings to be had, especially in fast-reacting algorithms to restore dynamic balance following external shocks and disturbances - like a good hard kick from a size 12 combat boot. The real question is a cost-benefit analysis of costs/resources vs knowledge  advancement, and  I suspect that its a worthwhile exercise to develop a concept independently to US companies and then to compare their performances.  Its a good gauge to evaluate ones own capability against the competition/adversary/enemy, and I'm sure the tech gains (mostly in electronics and software) will find use in other, more practical applications.

    The goal is to get a robot with mobility in areas that wheels simply can't cope... like rocky terrain or bomb damaged places with debris everywhere.

    In some roles it wont matter if it is noisy... there are plenty of disaster relief roles where being heard is a good thing.


    Just look at mythbusters... it is generally standard practise to try things in small scale and then build larger scale and then full scale models so you can detect potential problems early and don't have to deal with hundreds of problems all at once.

    If you think money spent on these small models is wasted then times the amount by 500 and then that will approach the cost of doing it full scale and then try to correct problems.

    Smaller scale versions are not wastes of time as different scale solutions solve different scale problems... some huge battle mech might be valuable but some small crawler that can go inside buildings that are half demolished and could collapse at any moment means you can send it in in situations when you would never risk more people.

    A wheel on flat ground will always be rather more efficient than a leg... but one rock will stop a wheel... anyone who rides a bicycle knows this.

    This^^

    Also, robots do not produce noise if they are standing still which they will be doing most of the time. And noise is not too relevant once shooting starts.

    Just imagine following scenario: Unit 1 is trying to attack Unit 2. Unit 2 has robots deployed in the perimeter. Unit 1 has to engage robots to reach their target and they waste time, ammo and lives fighting bunch of perfectly disposable robots. Robots do not even need to win or fight too efficiently for that matter, they just need to fight. While that happens, Unit 2 is ready to engage Unit 1 who, thanks to running into robots, instantly went from position of strength to position of weakness.

    I'd be keen to see video of this thing in operation, and to compare it against the BD AlphaDog.

    Also, robots do not produce noise if they are standing still which they will be doing most of the time. And noise is not too relevant once shooting starts.

    Also another factor is that if you actively use the robots in fighting as opposed to just using them as transport, a noisy robot flanking your position will unnerve an enemy and might make them more likely to withdraw from their positions.

    they could be sent more readily to flank an enemy position because they are more disposable in the manouver... small arms fire from every direction is not so scary when you are a robot with all your important vulnerable bits armoured... getting hit in the back by small arms fire wont distract you from your mission... once the targets in front are dealt with you can then deal with other targets... those microphone systems that listens to gun fire and determines the origin of the shots can be passing data to HQ and the unit regarding the precise location of the enemy down to individual snipers...

    Such data collection would be invaluable in saving lives and planning attacks against enemy positions.

    Having a PKP and a Balkan 40mm grenade launcher would enable a range of targets to be engaged and destroyed without risking troops... even just a simple laser target marker and helicopter support with Ugroza guidances kits for 80mm rockets would enable an enemy position to be obliterated rapidly and accurately... and cheaply.

    is something like this drone feasible?
