INTRODUCTION

Military robots are autonomous or remotecontrolled devices designed for military applications. Military is a dangerous job, but some of the tasks that soldiers are required to do are more dangerous than others. Walking through minefields, deactivating unexploded bombs or clearing out hostile buildings, for example, are some of the most dangerous tasks a person is asked to perform in the line of duty.

BASIC TRAINING
Size and shape of robots vary according to their function E.g. tank,bulldozer,air planes etc. Most commonly they are called unmanned ground vehicles(UGV),unmanned air vehicles (UAV) according to their functions in ground or air. Thus robot is a machine,that is controlled whole or a part of it by an on board computer. Robots work on the concept, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, a form of computer programme to process information and also make some decision of its own.

SMALL BOTS
Special features:-man portable
Types : Talon Packbot Matilda Maud & Marv (developing condition)

Talon
Man portable (< 45 kg)

Amphibious
Joystick controlled 7 speed setting (top speed=1.8m/sec)

Special features: It can climb stairs, take on snow. Contains audio-video listening devices Equipped with chemical,gas,temperature,radiation,sensors Carry guns(M240,M249 machine guns) Grenade launcher ,antitank rocket launcher

Packbot

Less than 18kg Gps system,electronics compass,temp.sensor 13 kph Tossing through window(for viewing enemy activities)

Maud & Marv

Low cost

Marv

Light weight (14 kg)

Maud

BIG BOTS
ACER ARTS

ACER
2040kg,10kph Clearing out explosives Clearing & cutting of obstacles Puling disabled vehicle As weapon platform Fire fighting

Armored Combat Engineer Robot

Three of ACERs possible configurations

All purpose remote transport system

ARTS

3400kg Disposal of dangerous explosives Can be remotely operated from 5 km

ARTS, equipped with a Harley Box Rake, begins explosive-ordnance disposal activities.

FLYING BOTS
Global Hawk Pointer Predator

Global Hawk

For reconnaissance Unmanned air vechicles Also called drones

Predator

Provides a constant real time data on troop movement Enemy location & weather Can be fitted with missiles The MQ-1 Predator Hunter/Killer is equipped MQ-1 Predator UAV with two Hellfire missiles and a targeting system.

SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPMENT
A mechanical super fighterwhich can heal its own wounds,leap buildings& become invisible when required

ADVANTAGES
It is more useful to loose a Robot rather than loose a Human life. It can work in the Line of Duty without Fear of loosing life. It can detect Land Mines and dispose Explosives. It can carry lots of Machineries and guns.

DISADVANTAGES

It is more expensive. Circuit failure can cause greater lose.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the developments are going on to produce more effective robots that can help in battle fields as well as in other places. It is more useful than loosing a Robot rather than loosing a Human life. It has so many advantages as compared to its disadvantages that we could left back its disadvantages. Hence it is more effective in the place of battle field. All we hope that it can minimize the possible of loosing soldiers.
