• First involved in the WWII by the Wehrmacht in 1940
• Wired remote control, About 7500 units were produced
• 60kg of explosives
• High unit costs, low speed (6mph) , vulnerable command cables
Military Robots
The Teletank
• Used by the Sowjet Union 1930s – 1940s

Military Robots
After WWII
• 1960: UAV’s were far more developed than UGV’s
• Collecting intelligence during
• the cold war
• 1980: UGV’s getting more important

The dream of fully autonomous robots
1/30/2010Seminar "Roboter und AKtivmedien" : Military Robots By Nury Yoo
12
Military Robots
Early Visions And Its Challenges
• Development of a fully autonomous combatant
• And a nearby perfect movement in any terrain
• This requires a very strong AI
• Problems of formalization
• Need of rethinking
• Since 2002 there are new aims, excluding autonomous systems

Military Robots
The Reality: UAVs and UGVs
• Unmanned Aerial/Ground Vehicles
• There is no fully autonomous system in current use
• Remote controlled by human beings
• If there is a fully autonomous robot,
Why should it listen to human commands?

How it works
• Controlled by a little electrical singal
• Increases human strength up to 10 times
• HAL stands for “Hybrid Assistive Limb”
