UAV / UCAV / LAR (robotit) Uutiset ja jutut

Siitä todellisuudesta en osaa sanoa mitään, jokainen elää kai omassaan, mutta pelastustoimen pitäisi mietti itse uudistumista, eikä pitää kiinni vanhasta ja totutusta kynsin ja hampain.
Uudistamisessa on kyse aika paljon isommista asioista kuin jonkun robotin hankinnasta. Ne haasteet eivät ole säännölliset ullakkopalot vaan ihan muut asiat. Uudistua pitää mutta se pitää tapahtua organisaatio edellä. Toimintakyky on tärkeä asia kentällä, samaa mieltä mutta ei tuollaisia voida hankkia joka paikkaan korvaamaan toimintakykyä.

Kuten sanoin isot kaupungit kuten Helsinki, voivat hankkia tuollaisen resurssien vuoksi ja riskien takia, mutta sielläkin on nyt tärkeämpiä asioita mietittävänä kuin robotit.

En usko että tarve muuten kuin keskitetysti. Kuten on sanottu, jos on tarve niin on parempi olla olemassa kuin olla ilman. Tälläkin hetkellä palokunnat avustavat toisiaan ja tuossa on kyseessä logistiikasta. Heidän pienempään droneen voi ladata vesisäiliön taikka jauhesammuttimet. Jos autolla on yksi kannossa, ja tilanteeseen lähtee kaksi niin ne voi hyvinkin toimia yhdessä semiautonomisesti dronekuskin kanssa.

Kait se tässäkin asiassa on rahasta ja tahtotilasta kiinni lähteekö Suomi ensikäyttäjäksi näissä asioissa. Uskoisin että meillä olisi kyky suunnitella ja toteuttaa omakin tuote. Ehkä myös PVlläkin olisi tilausta jos sellaisia pystyisi käyttämään ihmisen sijasta hyvin vaarallissa tapauksissa.

Homma on ehkä kiinni siitä että otetaanko nyt vai odotetaanko kymmennen vuotta ja seurataan miten dronet kehittyy?

Olen jo maininnut aikaisemmissa posteissa ne tilanteet, joissa tuollaisista on hyötyä ja se EI ole ullakkopalo. Takana on kohta 20 vuotta operatiivisella puolella pelastustoimessa ja pieni harmaa aavistus siitä mikä toimii ja missä, tai ei toimi.

Jos olet yhtään perillä siitä miten RPAS-villitys on iskenyt pelastustoimeen, niin ei se tahtotilasta tai rahasta ole kiinni. Kaikki lelut jotka vilkkuu ja surisee + missä on joystick ja vitusti kaikenlaisia kameroita saa kyllä huomiota. Se mistä revitään ihmiset ja mitä johtamiseen panostetaan jää sitten jalkoihin.

Suomessa ei ole toimijaa, ainakaan siviilisektorilla joka pystyisi kehittämään ja saamaan riittävästi tilauksia täältä että kannattaa. Pelastusalalla ei ole ainakaan systemaattista kehittämistä tai rahoitusta sellaiseen. Nyt sitä kehittämistä vasta viritellään, mutta viestit joita olen kuullut eivät ole rohkaisevia. Ministeriössä muutama "fiksu" virkamies yrittää puuhastella omassa pöydässä ratkaisuja alalle ja pelastuslaitokset jätetään ulkopuolelle.
Ainoa viranomainen jolla on rahaa potentiaaliseen hankintaan tai jonkinlaiseen kehittämiseen on PV (kaikesta vinkumisesta huolimatta)ja puolustussektorin yritykset. Jos PV rahoittaa ja osallistuu suunnitteluun, niin homma voi toimia mutta tuskin niin käy. RPGS-markkinat on muualla ja lahden toisella puolella ollaan pitkällä. Kannattaisi tutkia Milremin tuotteita mielummin kuin kehitellä omia ja yrittää kilpailla siinä.
Homma on ehkä kiinni siitä että otetaanko nyt vai odotetaanko kymmennen vuotta ja seurataan miten dronet kehittyy?
Helsinki voi hankkia, muut odottavat. Käy esittelemässä asia Helsingissä Sinnemäelle ja katsotaan innostuuko se :LOL:. Todennäköisesti saat palauteryöpyn, joka koskee sosiaalihuollon haasteita, päivähoitopaikkojen heikkoa tilannetta sekä kaupunkiympäristön ekologisuuden kehittämistä. Lopuksi seuraa: "rahaa ei ole tällä hetkellä, mutta kattellaan".

Uudistus lähtee jostain rohkeasta, isosta, tai pienestä.
Iso ongelma on ukkojen vähyys joka on jo nyt ongelma ja veikkaan, että ongelma pahenee vain. Palokuntiin jää työrajoitteisia, mutta osaavia ja kokeneita tekijöitä. Tiedät hyvin, että ruotsalaiset (päätöksen järkevyydestä en puhu) lopettivat käytännössä kokonaan savusukelluksen. Ja vaikka syyksi usein mainitaan sen vaarallisuus ja altistumis ongelmat, todellinen syys on pula kyvykkäistä sammuttajista.

Ullakkopaloon ei takertua, se on vain yksi esimerkki ja vaikka olet toista mieltä, olen silti sitä mieltä, että tuo korvaa tulevaisuudessa monessa paikassa sammutusparin ja vaatii vain yhden ohjaajan ja mikä tärkeintä, siihen kelpaa 3-kuntoluokan mies.
 
Milremin Themis olisi mielenkiintoinen tutkittava. Raskas kk yhdistettynä vaikka NLAW-ohjukseen olisi oiva ylläri hyökkääjille väijyssä ja riskitön omille joukoille.

DefendTex Drone-40

The Drone-40 is the most amazing thing I saw at this year’s SOFIC. Made by DefendTex, it is a low-cost, programmable 40 mm munition, providing kinetic or ISR options.

The round is fired from the launcher in order to get it aloft. To attain flight mode, it deploys four helicopter-style rotors to stabilize, move, and provide lift for loiter.

It offers 12 minutes of flight time and or 20 minutes of loiter time. Cruising speed is 20 m/s and range at optimum speed is in excess of 10km.

Payloads include camera, anti-armor, fuel-air, HE/frag, diversionary, smoke, counter-UAS,

With these mixed of payload types, Drone-40 can be used individualy, paired or as a swarm, to a variety of effcts. For example, a team could launch one or more ISR configured munitions along with a swarm of anti-armor payloads and loiter over an ambush spot, waiting for a vehicle column. With Multi-Round Simultaneous Impact mode, multiple effects can be acheived at once, depending in the types of payloads delivered.

For those of you wondering why you need the M320 grenade launcher, it’s technologies like this. The M203 is simply no longer “good enough” because you can’t load these longer rounds into the launcher.

Australian manufacturer DefendTex also offers the technology in 12ga and 81mm form factors. Obviously, these come with larger or smaller payloads as well as different flight and loiter times.

Räyhäkkä peli, mutta mitä tuolla ammuttavalla dronella saavutetaan verrattuna perinteiseen droneen? Laukaisun ääniheräte lienee melkoisesti suurempi, vaikka toki on vaikeampi havaita, mistä drone lähetettiin, jos se on parissa sekunnissa satojen metrien päässä ampumapaikasta.

Lähitulevaisuiden palomies (telepresense)

Teleoperated robots have long been used in industrial, aerospace, and underwater settings. More recently, researchers have experimented with motion-capture systems to transfer a person’s movements to a humanoid robot in real time: You wave your arms and the robot mimics your gestures. For a fully immersive experience, special goggles can let the operator see what the robot sees through its cameras, and a haptic vest and gloves can provide tactile sensations to the operator’s body.

At MIT’s Biomimetic Robotics Lab, our group is pushing the melding of human and machine even further, in hopes of accelerating the development of practical disaster robots. With support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), we are building a telerobotic system that has two parts: a humanoid capable of nimble, dynamic behaviors, and a new kind of two-way human-machine interface that sends your motions to the robot and the robot’s motions to you. So if the robot steps on debris and starts to lose its balance, the operator feels the same instability and instinctively reacts to avoid falling. We then capture that physical response and send it back to the robot, which helps it avoid falling, too. Through this human-robot link, the robot can harness the operator’s innate motor skills and split-second reflexes to keep its footing.

You could say we’re putting a human brain inside the machine.

What if drones and self-driving cars had the tingling "spidey senses" of Spider-Man?

They might actually detect and avoid objects better, says Andres Arrieta, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, because they would process sensory information faster.

Better sensing capabilities would make it possible for drones to navigate in dangerous environments and for cars to prevent accidents caused by human error. Current state-of-the-art sensor technology doesn't process data fast enough - but nature does.

And researchers wouldn't have to create a radioactive spider to give autonomous machines superhero sensing abilities.

Instead, Purdue researchers have built sensors inspired by spiders, bats, birds and other animals, whose actual spidey senses are nerve endings linked to special neurons called mechanoreceptors.

The nerve endings - mechanosensors - only detect and process information essential to an animal's survival. They come in the form of hair, cilia or feathers.

"There is already an explosion of data that intelligent systems can collect - and this rate is increasing faster than what conventional computing would be able to process," said Arrieta, whose lab applies principles of nature to the design of structures, ranging from robots to aircraft wings.

"Nature doesn't have to collect every piece of data; it filters out what it needs," he said.

Many biological mechanosensors filter data - the information they receive from an environment - according to a threshold, such as changes in pressure or temperature.

A spider's hairy mechanosensors, for example, are located on its legs. When a spider's web vibrates at a frequency associated with prey or a mate, the mechanosensors detect it, generating a reflex in the spider that then reacts very quickly. The mechanosensors wouldn't detect a lower frequency, such as that of dust on the web, because it's unimportant to the spider's survival.

The idea would be to integrate similar sensors straight into the shell of an autonomous machine, such as an airplane wing or the body of a car. The researchers demonstrated in a paper published in ACS Nano that engineered mechanosensors inspired by the hairs of spiders could be customized to detect predetermined forces. In real life, these forces would be associated with a certain object that an autonomous machine needs to avoid.

But the sensors they developed don't just sense and filter at a very fast rate - they also compute, and without needing a power supply.

"There's no distinction between hardware and software in nature; it's all interconnected," Arrieta said. "A sensor is meant to interpret data, as well as collect and filter it."

In nature, once a particular level of force activates the mechanoreceptors associated with the hairy mechanosensor, these mechanoreceptors compute information by switching from one state to another.

Purdue researchers, in collaboration with Nanyang Technology University in Singapore and ETH Zurich, designed their sensors to do the same, and to use these on/off states to interpret signals. An intelligent machine would then react according to what these sensors compute.

These artificial mechanosensors are capable of sensing, filtering and computing very quickly because they are stiff, Arrieta said. The sensor material is designed to rapidly change shape when activated by an external force. Changing shape makes conductive particles within the material move closer to each other, which then allows electricity to flow through the sensor and carry a signal. This signal informs how the autonomous system should respond.

"With the help of machine learning algorithms, we could train these sensors to function autonomously with minimum energy consumption," Arrieta said. "There are also no barriers to manufacturing these sensors to be in a variety of sizes."

This work is financially supported by ETH Zurich and Purdue University, and aligns with Purdue's Giant Leaps celebration, acknowledging the university's global advancements made in AI, algorithms and automation as part of Purdue's 150th anniversary. This is one of the four themes of the yearlong celebration's Ideas Festival, designed to showcase Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.

The Air Force is planning to purchase a new quadcopter drone, known as the InstantEye.

In a May 23 announcement on the Federal Business Opportunities web site, contracting officials at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base said they plan to order the InstantEye MK-3 GEN4-D1 Unmanned Aerial System from Physical Sciences Inc.

The contract is expected to be placed as a sole source order, meaning that no other company was considered for the contract. The Air Force said in the announcement that Physical Sciences Inc. is the only company that produces Air Force approved quadcopter systems.

The order is expected to include two small unmanned aircraft systems, one tactical sensor controller with two batteries, one charger, one spare kit, and one transport kit, the announcement said.

The MK-3 GEN4-D1 is part of the InstantEye digital fleet. As a security precaution, the drone transfers data to a ground control station and does not store information on the aircraft.

According to the InstantEye Robotics website, the Mk-3 GEN4-D1 weighs about 3 pounds and can carry a payload of 3 pounds. It has a video range of 4 kilometers and can fly for up to 30 minutes depending on wind speed and payload.

The InstantEye can withstand up to 20 mph wind, which allows it to have high accuracy in charge placement for improvised explosive devices. InstantEye Systems also feature thermal imaging systems, still photo, and geo rectification capability, which links photos to a coordinate system so they can be located on a map.

The InstantEye is not new technology for the Department of Defense. For fiscal 2019, the Navy and Marine Corps requested 200 InstantEye quadcopters, likely part of a “quads for squads” program.

Satellite imagery has confirmed The War Zone's initial assessment of Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B, or Hunter-B, unmanned combat air vehicle is very large, with a wingspan greater than that of an Su-34 Fullback combat jet. The image, which appears to have been from around the date of Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent trip to the 929th Chkalov State Flight-Test Center, also shows an array of stores on display next to the drone.

Putin visited Chkalov, which is situated in Russia's southwestern Astrakhan region, on May 14, 2019, arriving with an escort of six Su-57 advanced combat jets. The satellite image of the flight line at the test center subsequently appeared on social media, showing the unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) next to an Su-57 and other aircraft, including an Su-34, a MiG-29, and multiple Sukhoi Flanker variants. The new imagery does seem to show that the drone has a new paint scheme, which might indicate that it is a more refined design or a second prototype, but official Kremlin statements did confirm that the Russian President got a chance to see the Okhotnik-B.

Robottisuoja! Tämä on ensimmäinen.


Robotit ei tarvitse jalkapohjia, vain pelkät putket kävelemiseen. Teoriassa nämä voi kipittää aika vauhtia. Väistämättä tulee myös ajatelluksi Cameronin Terminaattoria. Tämän mukaan se olisi voinut kävellä pelkillä tynkillä.


 
Hollantilaiset ostavat kaksi Milremin UGV:tä.

Dutch Army Takes Delivery of Two THeMIS UGVs
30409
Milrem Robotics have confirmed that the Robot and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Unit of the 13th Light Brigade of the Royal Netherlands Army took delivery of two THeMIS unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in April, for their Concept Development and Experimentation Project.

The project will explore and assess how unmanned platforms can provide additional combat power and reduce risk to soldiers.

The THeMIS UGVs were delivered in transport configuration together with initial spare parts and accessories. Milrem Robotics will also provide operator and maintenance training, tactical deployment know-how and life cycle support and upgrades during a two-year period.
“We are extremely proud to have the THeMIS in operation with the Royal Netherlands Army,” Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics stated. “Rigorous tests and combat exercises held in Europe, US and the Middle-East have proven that the THeMIS is an effective tool for dismounted troops and we have no doubt the Dutch Army will be more than satisfied,” he added.

“The THeMIS UGVs were chosen for their superior terrain skills – this 1,5-ton robot can effortlessly negotiate 30 degree slopes while carrying a payload of at least 750 kg with ease,” said Lieutenant Colonel Jules den Ouden, commander of the RAS unit.

The THeMIS’ capabilities were put to the test right after delivery in the tough Scottish landscape during an exercise where the RAS used unmanned ground vehicles for the first time.

“The THeMIS played a major role in the supply chain. Why would we need to go get ammo and set ourselves up as targets when the THeMIS can bring it to us?” the commander asked. The THeMIS has been previously deployed in several military exercises for example Last Mile and Army Warfighting Experiment 2018 in the UK. One THeMIS UGV was recently deployed in Mali together with soldiers from the Estonian Defence Forces.

Milrem Robotics, ST Engineering demo BVLOS combat UGV
30410
Milrem Robotics and ST Engineering have demonstrated a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) combat UGV armed with a 40mm automatic grenade launcher (AGL) and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun (HMG) during a live fire exercise held in Tapa, Estonia.

The joint warfare system consists of the THeMIS UGV and the ADDER remote weapon station. The UGV is a tracked all-terrain system with ground clearance up to 60cm that can negotiate 60% slopes and pass 61cm deep water obstacles. Its top speed is 20km/h and it is powered by a diesel-electric drive that, depending on the mission, can offer 15 hours of constant operations without re-fuelling.

The system is equipped with an advanced medium-calibre weapon system armed with a 40mm AGL and a 12.7mm HMG. Both weapons passed live fire tests conducted in April in cooperation with the Estonian Defence Force.

The combat UGV is configured for wireless BVLOS control from a distance of 1000m and 2500m in urban and rural areas, respectively. The operator can control the system from an ergonomically-designed mobile or stationary crew station, which uses an unmanned network control system consisting of a general L-Band datalink and a dedicated fire control UHF-band datalink embedded fire control system.

The combat UGV can be armoured up to STANAG 4569 level 3.
