The iBOT is a robotic wheelchair developed by Dean Kamen in a partnership between DEKA and Johnson and Johnson’s Independence Technology division. It is a medical technology, made to help people with severe mobility problems.[2] Dean Kamen demonstrates iBOT to President Clinton in the White House. [3] 1 The iBOT has a number of features…
Boeing X-37B, the Orbital Test Vehicle (X-37B OTV), is an American unmanned robotic vertical-takeoff (with using of rocket), horizontal-landing spaceplane.[1] Boeing X-37B in fairing. [2]1 This spaceplane is designed to operate at altitudes of 200-750 km, it is able to quickly change the orbits, make evolutions, also it can perform the reconnaissance missions and…
The world’s first Soviet Mars rovers had name: Instrument of evaluation of maneuverability – Mars (PrOP-M, local abbreviation). They were designed and manufactured by VNIItransmash, chief designer – Alexander L. Kemurdzhian.[1] Two automatic rovers reached the Martian surface during “Mars-2” and “Mars-3” missions in 1971. None of them fulfilled its mission.[3] “Mars-3” automatic interplanetary station….

Linse had a length of 5.75 m, width – 1.75 m, crew – 1 person, the engine power of 70 kW, 1 propeller. The boat was capable of traveling at distance…
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…
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…
