The Adaptive Suspension Vehicle (ASV) is a six-legged robotic system designed for sustained locomotion on unstructured terrain. The ASV project was initiated in January 1981 under the lead of Kenneth McGhee along with Robert Waldron at the Ohio State University (OSU), USA. The machine took its first steps in December 1985. The first outdoor tests…
In 1923 – 1924, the Special technical bureau for military inventions of special purpose (Ostekhbyuro – local abbreviation) has started the works at creation of the radio-controlled mines in the Soviet Union. The first specimens of devices for manage of detonation of fougasses at distance were given the name “BEMI” – according to first syllables…
HAL (the Hybrid Assistive Limb) is a powered exoskeleton suit currently in development by Tsukuba University in Japan. There are currently two prototypes: HAL-3 (restoring of the leg function) and HAL-5 (a full-body exoskeleton for the arms, legs, and torso). HAL-5 is currently capable of allowing the operator to lift and carry about five times…
“Moon Walker” is the eight-legged walking chair, designed by space engineers to aid children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Moon Walker walking chair. [1] The vehicle, was originally designed as a means of transportation on the lunar surface, suddenly became suitable for another purpose. Children, who have lost ability of the free motion due…
Six-legged walking harvester “Plusjack” was developed in 1999 by the “Plustech” Finnish company (the advanced research and development unit of “Timberjack”, now a “John Deere” company).[1][7] Plusjack Walking harvester. [5] Harvester has been designed to navigate the difficult terrain (e.g. steep slopes), with the implementation of the principle of applying the minimum damage to…
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….
The tragic events at Chernobyl nuclear power plant in April 1986 in USSR [1-5] caused the need of the urgent creation of unmanned robotic vehicles with remote control. Such specialized transport robots (STR) have been created by VNIItransmash on the basis of experience at developing and testing of “Lunokhod-1” and experimental models of planetary rovers….
