Turkki ei pudottanut yhtään mitään.

Yksittäinen lentäjä veti liipasimesta kun venäläisten maataistelukone oli rynnäköinyt syyrian puolella rajaa olevaan pakolaisleiriin useamman kerran ja ajautui vahingossa puoleksi minuutiksi väärälle puolelle rajaaa.
Miksi noin väität? Käsky ampua kone/koneet (koska ei yksilöidä monta oli lupa ampua) alas on tullut aika korkealta joten kyllä se Turkin pudotukseksi on laskettava.

Tuli seurattua tämäkin livenä. Erdo joutui soveltamaan perinteistä tapahtuman jälkeistä vääristelyä, sillä eihän kukaan nyt itsekseen koneita pudotttaisi.
 
"high-density robotic logistics"
 
According to a new report from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), China now has almost half of all the world's robot installations and that it is increasing its lead rapidly. Engineering.com reports: The IFR, which exists to "promote research, development, use and international co-operation in the entire field of robotics," has been reporting that China has been the world leader in implementing industrial robots for the last 8 years. We have not been paying attention. In 3 years, China has almost doubled the number of industrial robot installations. With its 243,000 robot installations in 2020, China has almost half of all the industrial robots in the world, according to the Wall Street Journal.

A majority of new industrial robots are used in electronics manufacture (for circuit boards, consumer electronics, etc.) and in automobile assembly, particularly in the surging production of electric vehicles (EVs).One must wonder why China, a country with so much cheap manual labor available, would opt for expensive robots with their special demands for tech support. China may have a giant population (1.4 billion people), but its workforce is actually decreasing, says the IFR, due to an increasing segment of its population aging and a growing competition for service jobs. China also expects a leveling off of its rural-to-urban migration. China's government is determined not to let a declining workforce cause a drop in manufacturing, and as only a centralized, authoritarian government can, it has made robotizing a national priority and has mobilized its forces.

China's latest five-year plan for the robotics industry, released in December 2021 by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), aims for nothing less than making China a world leader in robot technology and industrial automation. And it appears to be working. China went from 10 robots per ten thousand employees 10 years ago to 246 robots per ten thousand employees in 2020, the ninth best ranking in the world. To keep the robots state of the art and operational, China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security introduced 18 new occupational titles in June, including "robotics engineering technician."

Flying 3D-printing robots modeled after wasps and birds may one day repair and build structures at remote sites beyond the reach of standard construction teams, a new study finds.

Construction robots that can 3D-print structures on sites may one day prove faster, safer and more productive than human teams. However, construction robotics currently mostly focus on ground-based robots. This approach is limited by the heights it can reach, and large-scale systems requiring tethering to a power supply, limiting where they can get deployed.

In the new study, researchers drew inspiration from flying animals that are highly adept at construction. For instance, a barn swallow can overcome the limited payload it can carry in one flight by typically making some 1,200 trips between where it gets its construction material and its construction site to incrementally build its nest
The drones work cooperatively from a single blueprint, adapting to variations in the geometry of the structure in real time as construction progresses. The robots are fully autonomous while flying, but a human supervisor can monitor data from the drones and intervene when necessary.

A question often asked about this approach is "can you build something with one drone when one drone can carry relatively little?" Kovač says. The key to this strategy is not just using one drone, "but many drones working together, which is what is also seen in the animal kingdom. When animals want to build something large, they work together in swarms or collectives to do so."
In experiments, the drones could manufacture a roughly 2-meter-high, 30-centimeter-wide, 72-layer cylinder from polyurethane insulation foam in 29 minutes. They could also build a 18-centimeter-high, 33-centimeter-wide, 28-layer cylinder from a cement-like material in 133 minutes. All in all, they achieved a manufacturing accuracy of 5 millimeters, acceptable within United Kingdom building requirements.

A droid named Cassie has set a Guinness World Record for the 100-meter dash by a bipedal robot, "an impressive demonstration of robotics and engineering," reports New Atlas. From the report: Cassie is the brainchild of Agility Robotics, a spin-off company from Oregon State University, and was introduced in 2017 as a type of developmental platform for robotics research. And Cassie has continued to come along in leaps and bounds since then, in 2021 demonstrating some impressive progress by completing a 5-km (3.1-mile) jog in just over 53 minutes. This achievement involved the use of machine learning algorithms to equip the robot with an ability to run, overcoming its unique biomechanics and knees that bend like an ostrich to remain upright. With this capability, Cassie joined a group of running bipedal robots that include the Atlas humanoid robot from Boston Dynamics and Mabel, billed as the world's fastest knee-equipped bipedal robot. But in optimizing Cassie for the 100-meter sprint, the researchers had to head back to the drawing board.

The team spent a week fast-tracking Cassie through a year's worth of simulated training designed to determine the most effective gait. But it wasn't simply a matter of speed. For the Guinness World Record to stand, Cassie had to start in a standing pose, and then return to that pose after crossing the finish line rather than simply tumble over. This meant Cassie had to use two neural networks, one for running fast and one for standing still, and gracefully transition between the two. Ultimately, Cassie completed the 100-meter sprint in 24.73 seconds, establishing a Guinness World Record for a bipedal robot. This is a great deal slower than the sub-10-second times run by the world's best sprinters, but the researchers believe progress will only accelerate from here.
 
Lockheed Martin and Verizon are experimenting with 5G-enabled drones and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance payloads in an effort that could ultimately enhance U.S. military command and control and in-the-field targeting abilities.

The two companies on Sept. 28 said they were able to securely share and analyze real-time data and other intel captured by a swarm of drones via fifth-generation wireless networks, both private and public.

The tests, conducted in May and September, and their results have significant battlefield implications, according to Dan Rice, the vice president of 5G.MIL programs at Lockheed.

“We demonstrated that 5G technology can help the DoD better detect and target adversarial assets in a military environment,” he said. “This technology detected and geolocated low-power RF signals that adversaries could use to communicate, sense or jam.”

Army, Air Force and Pentagon representatives, among others, attended the demonstration in May.

Rice sees the pairing of nimble drones, 5G connectivity and ISR capabilities as something that could be used in most any fight.

“I think nearly every branch of service is flying drones today and using technologies like this to do electronic support measures and help identify potential targets in their particular domain,” he said. “So I think it’s applicable across all branches of service, the technologies we’ve demonstrated.”
 

There are a few downsides to this design, namely that the vertical wing only adds drag in level flight, so it’s not as efficient as some bi-wing designs, but it compromises for that loss with much more effective hover capabilities. He also plans to demonstrate the use of a camera during spin-hover mode as well in future builds. It’s an impressive experiment pushing the envelope of what a multi-rotor craft can do, and [Nicholas] still has plans to improve the design, especially when it comes to adding better control when it is in spin-hover mode. We’d expect plenty of other drones to pick up some of these efficiency gains too, except for perhaps this one.
 
At the end of Tesla’s 2021 AI Day last August, Elon Musk introduced a concept for “Tesla Bot,” an electromechanically-actuated, autonomous bipedal “general purpose” humanoid robot. Musk suggested that a prototype of Tesla Bot (also called “Optimus”) would be complete within the next year. After a lot of hype, a prototype of Tesla Bot was indeed unveiled last night at Tesla’s 2022 AI Day. And as it turns out, the hype was just that—hype.

While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the humanoid robot that Musk very briefly demonstrated on stage, there’s nothing uniquely right, either. We were hoping for (if not necessarily expecting) more from Tesla. And while the robot isn’t exactly a disappointment, there’s very little to suggest that it disrupts robotics the way that SpaceX did for rockets or Tesla did for electric cars.

You can watch the entire 3+ hour livestream archived on YouTube here (which also includes car stuff and whatnot), but we’re just going to focus on the most interesting bits about Tesla Bot/Optimus.

TRX Breacher
Citing information published by the "National Interest" website, GDLS (General Dynamics Land Systems) unveiled the TRX family of medium-class robots at the 2021 Association of the United States Army Annual Symposium. The tw0-ton tracked robotic TRX vehicle leverages capabilities and lessons learned from a GDLS program called Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT), a high-tech, innovative robotics program designed to push the envelope of autonomous operations and change or improve paradigms for manned-unmanned warfare.

The Tracked Robot 10-ton (TRX) technology demonstrator supports Army objectives for a Robotic Combat Vehicle, executing dull, dirty and dangerous missions so Soldiers don’t have to. TRX’s Breacher payload is designed to perform dangerous obstacle-reduction tasks and is the result of a partnership with Pearson Engineering.

TRX’s flatbed design integrates any payload with a class-leading payload-to-chassis ratio of 1:1. TRX is able to maneuver at speed with all formations and is transportable on CH-47 and C-130 aircraft. TRX also generates exportable power to support mission command operations and is hybrid-electric in support of the Army’s climate and electrification strategy.

Textron Systems has invested in designing, demonstrating and maturing ground robotic technologies that incorporate features for transportability, mission flexibility, and battlefield agility.

The Ground robotic vehicles are the wingman of the battlefield. As technology advances, so does our ability to protect soldiers. Unmanned ground robotic platforms give soldiers the boost and assistance they need to continue the fight. Textron Systems and Howe and Howe Technologies have developed multiple ground robotic vehicles in a variety of sizes, weights, and power profiles.

The RIPSAW M3 Technology Demonstrator is the newest generation platform within the RIPSAW family of vehicles. The technology demonstrator incorporates the familiar flat-deck configuration from the RIPSAW M5 robotic vehicle and provides unobstructed deck space to accommodate multiple payloads.

The Ripsaw M3 was initially built to address the next big challenge for ground robotics which is wet gap crossing. This new platform has given us the opportunity to incorporate lessons learned from the M5 robotic vehicle platform into a smaller, but mission-capable variant.
