2021: Announcement of a robot snake to search for people under the rubble
In October 2021, it became known about the creation of Russia robot a ground designed for use in rescue operations when it is required to look for people under the rubble. This is the development of the Moscow Aviation Institute (). MAI
According to the press service of the university, we are talking about a remote controlled 50 cm robot, which can penetrate even hard-to-reach places under the rubble, which cannot be examined in other ways. The device differs from existing analogues in the presence of two chambers - in the head and tail - and the ability to move freely both forward and back, which helps it not to get stuck in a limited space.
Noted. that you can control the robot not only remotely, but also with the help of a wire. This analog control can be useful if remote control is difficult due to poor signal transmission between reinforced concrete structures.
According to the developers, it is planned to improve the signal reception and transmission system, making it more powerful, and to finalize the design of the robot to increase its maneuverability and cross-country ability.
A similar product was previously created at the Central Research Institute of Robotics and Technical Cybernetics. This serpentine robot can move not only through rough terrain, but even inside pipes and through narrow slots, penetrating into places that are not accessible to people and other mechanisms. The robot is designed for autonomous operation for 60 minutes and, thanks to the modular scheme, is able to continue working in case of failure of several elements.
According to engineers, the device is capable of moving at a speed of 0.5 m per second (1.8 km/h) in a variety of conditions. Moreover, for each of the possible situations, "snakes" use the most suitable tactics of movements. For example, torso wave motions are applied when the robot is on a flat surface.[1]
