Military robots can be remote-control robots or automatic robots. These are mostly designed to search the military person and rescue the person and also attack according to the situation. Some robots are designed and some are under inventions.

Military robots are not new for the armed forces as they are using these robots for several years in many parts of the world. Military robots provide a quick backup plan when there is a huge fire and reduce the number of problems faced by military members.

These robots are available in different sizes and different shapes. The user can buy them according to the requirement.

History of military robots

These military robots are tested in World War 2 and the cold war in the form of tele tanks or the mines. The military robots of the future are made attractive and very useful in the military. Some people believe that future wars would be fought by weapons that are automatic.

The U.S. is also trying its best to develop new inventions related to weapons or robots for the army. Some automatic jets and bombs are promised because the robots would be having lack training. It would be helpful in a dangerous mission.

Types of military robots

These military robots are very useful in the many missions which were held in Germany and the Soviet Union. There are various types of military robots which are as follows:

1. Military transportation robots

These are mostly designed for transporting the military from one place to the other. These also help to transport the bombs, artillery, and many more things. These robots are designed in such a way that they can easily move on difficult terrains easily.

They can move on legs or wheels that are also attached to move fast. We know that the person who is on a dangerous mission gets a lot of money but they are also humans. They also deserve to live so the robots can be used in that place when there is a risk of life.

2. Search and rescue military robots

These are very useful when the person in the military is to be found or rescued their team member from the other team camps. These are also helpful when there is a flood, earthquake, or any other natural disaster.

3. Firefighting robots

These robots are used when there is a huge fire. This can protect the life of the soldier when there is a fire in the camp. These robots can be attached to the hydrant to extinguishing the fire. This will save the life of the victims and even the life of the firefighters. The people can investigate the situation by using this robot. These can be remote-controlled or automatic.

4. Mine clearance military robots

These robots are battle robots. These are mostly used when there is a risk to the person’s life. There is a large variety of war robot weapons that are used. These robots are mostly remote-controlled robots.

5. Surveillance and reconnaissance military robots

These robots are used in place of the spy team. These are mostly used for the investigation process. These robots are also having weapons.

6. Armed military robots

These robots are used for shooting purposes as these robots have weapons.

7. Unnamed aerial vehicle robots

These robots are designed for investigation purposes. They can even fly. In the future, these robots may fight or have bombs fit in them.

8. Unnamed ground vehicle robots

The most designed robots are the unnamed ground vehicle robots. These robots do their work on the ground.

9. Unnamed underwater vehicle robots

These robots are designed in such a way that they can swim easily. These robots are used for rescue and search missions.

How do military robots work?

The armed forces are doing the most difficult work than the normal people. Some difficult tasks which are assigned to special persons of the army are walking in the field of mines; detect unexploded bombs and various other tasks. But when we use robots instead of the military people’s lives would be saved and only a small amount of money could be destroyed. So various countries are trying their best for making robots for these purposes.

Basic training: robots come in various shapes and sizes which are designed according to their work. So, they are divided according to their work and their shapes and sizes which are as follows:

1. Small bots: talon
These are mostly used in the army these times. It is small in size and looks like a small tank. It has different sensors with audio and video. It can tackle all the climatic conditions.

2. Small bots: Pickton
It is smaller in size and lighter than the talon. It works like a GPS system. This can easily find out where the combatants are hidden.

3. Small bots: matilda
It is as same as the other small robots but it is designed as a professional. The weight of the matilda is around 28 kg because of the batteries fitted inside it. It is having many sensors with audio, video, camera and it can even tow a small trailer.

4. Big bot: ACER
Most large robots are made of trucks or tankers with computers so they can be remotely controlled. ACER is also designed in the shape of a bulldozer. It can easily handle difficult and big tasks very easily. It can easily cut or clear the obstacles which come in between.

5. Big bots: ARTS, RAAS, ARV

  • ARTS
    The U.S. air force military designs it for disposing of explosives easily. It is designed in the bulldozer shape but instead of the bulldozer blade, it is having the mine-clearing device. It also has the arm and the water cutting tool.
  • RAAS and ARV
    It is also designed by the military of the U.S. It can easily carry 1 ton of payload. It is having the missiles for firing. It is basically designed for transporting heavy materials of the military like guns and bombs to the military areas easily.

6. Flying bots: global hawk and pointer
This robot is mainly designed for reconnaissance. It is remote-controlled. Its length is 44 ft and its wingspan is 116 ft. its speed is basically 403 mph.

7. Flying bots: predator
It plays a very important role in the army. It helps the military people to keep a check on the team members and also keep an eye on the enemy troops who are waiting for the team members to destroy them. It provides constant real-time photos of the troops, enemy troops, and even weather conditions.

Advantages and disadvantages of the military robots

Conclusion:

Nowadays there are a variety of robots which are introduced and very helpful. In the coming time, all the work would be done by the robots. No field would be left where there are no robots. The military is also using robots for getting information of the enemy and even for searching and rescue the person.

These robots are available in different sizes and shapes. They are designed as per the use theirs. Some are so light in weight and some are so heavy. The military is using them for transporting the heavy materials from one place to the other or diffusing the mines which are settled on the ground as they are not easily visible or to protect their lives in the dangerous mission.

There many advantages of using these robots but there are disadvantages of military robots too. In history, robots are also used in World War 2 and some cold wars. In these wars, these robots show the positive effect. They are very useful in the dangerous mission in which the military person is involved.

They can do the work very quickly and without any problem. As we know that army people are always ready to die for their country but their life is also precious. So, these robots are made to save their life in a mission where there is a risk of their life.

These robots can be sent to the place where there is extremely cold or hot where the people cannot stay. They also do not require food to eat and they can perform their work efficiently. A lot of money can be saved.
