In the early 1970s, M. Petternella with a group of colleagues (Institute of Automation, Rome, Italy – Istituto di Automatica, Rome, Italy) has created a six-legged walking machine with electric drives. There is interesting design solution for legs: hip performed as a hinge with the lateral axis (one degree of freedom), and telescoping of shank…
The Roomba is a series of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners sold by iRobot Corporation (USA). This robot is able to navigate a living space and common obstacles while vacuuming the floor. New models of Roomba also are able to optimize cleaning.[1] All Roomba models are disc-shaped, 34 cm in diameter and less than 9 cm…
The IAI Eitan, also known as Heron TP, is a reconnaissance Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed in Israel in the early 2000s by the Israel Aerospace Industries.[1] A medium-altitude, long endurance UAV, the Eitan can operate at altitudes above commercial air traffic and features all-weather capability, de-icing systems, automatic takeoff and landing systems, and triple-redundant…
In 1898 Nikola Tesla publicly demonstrated a radio-controlled (teleoperated) boat, similar to a modern Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV).[1] Tesla’s remote-controlled craft. [2] 1 Based on his patents U.S. Patent 613,809 [3]2, U.S. Patent 723,188 [4]2 and U.S. Patent 725,605 [5]2 for “teleautomation”, Tesla hoped to develop the wireless torpedo into a weapon system for the…
Mobile Autonomous Robot (MAR-1) was developed by the Department of Agriculture robotics at the Moscow Institute of Agricultural Engineers named after V.P. Goryachkin in the early 1980s in the USSR.[1] The first model of MAR-1. [1] The first model of MAR-1 was designed to serve the cattle-breeding industry. The robot was made so that it…
BigDog is a dynamically stable quadruped robot created by Boston Dynamics with Foster-Miller, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Harvard University Concord Field Station in 2005 in USA.[1] BigDog is 0.91 m long, stands 0.76 m tall, and weighs 110 kg, about the size of a small mule. It is capable of traversing difficult…
ReWalk is a wearable, motorized exoskeleton suit which was developed by Argo Medical Technologies Ltd (Israel). ReWalk tool enables wheelchair users with lower-limb disabilities to stand, walk, and even climb stairs.[1] ReWalk exoskeleton. [3][4] 1 ReWalk provides user-initiated mobility by leveraging advanced motion sensors, sophisticated control algorithms, on-board computers, real-time software, actuation motors and tailored…
In 1934-1935 the autonomous underwater special vessel (project code – APSS) was created in the USSR. The work was carried out by the Special technical bureau for military inventions of special purpose (Ostekhbyuro – local abbreviation), which was headed by V.I. Bekauri. Created midget submarine had torpedoes or an explosive charge on board. Control of…
During World War II, the German army (Wehrmacht) used three remotely operated Tracked mines: the light Goliath (Sd.Kfz. 302/303a/303b), the medium Springer (Sd.Kfz. 304) and the heavy Borgward IV (Sd.Kfz. 301).[7] Their task was to carry a charge of high explosives under armor protection into a target and detonate it there. British soldiers with…
Lunokhod is a series (Lunokhod-0, Lunokhod-1, Lunokhod-2, Lunokhod-3) of the Soviet remote controlled self-propelled apparatuses for exploration of Moon. History of the creation of Soviet automatic mobile laboratory for the study of the Moon begins from the first half of 1960s. In 1963, S. Korolyov (Soviet scientist, designer and organizer of the production of the…
