Work with legs learned to shoot from machine guns more precisely than people: China can strengthen them army

Researchers do not specify neither the model of work nor the machine gun model, but they reported that the robots released 10 queues of the machine gun with the size of a person at a distance of 100 m. After a few shots, the radius of semi -scatter The nearest holes from the balls were about 5 cm. In other words, if the robot was aimed at human chest, most balls would get into the heart, which is a difficult task for machine guns that distinguish fire power, not accuracy.

For comparison, the M16 assault rifle, known for its accuracy, has a factory standard half -scattering radius 12 cm per 100 m. Experienced shooters can reduce this figure twice. According to researchers, this technology can potentially affect the future of the war. They came to the conclusion that armed work would be able to surpass even experienced soldiers on the battlefield and emphasized that the idea of ​​creating a shock platform on their feet is quite promising.

Scientists believe that armed work will be especially effective in city battles, in anti -terrorist operations, missions to save hostages. Work will easily rise and descend stairs, maneuver, jump over obstacles, make a flight back, go cross-country terrain, run without a break with a 20-pound load for 4 hours. "Four -legged bionic platforms are quite stable to ensure increased mobility and adaptability in complex urban combat conditions," the researchers explained.

Another plus of Chinese four -legged bots is their value - only $ 3,000. However, not all work can be used in battle. The US also tried to use robots in battle. Back in 2015, Boston Dynamics developed a giant four -legged work for the US army. In 2020, Boston Dynamics introduced a SPOT, a civilian model of the same PSA worth $ 70-140,000. Judging by the photos that are available on the Internet, the US military often simply tie weapons to test dogs.

According to Chinese scientists, this approach is wrong. They created a special frame in order to secure the machine gun at work and promote the recoil, minimizing the bouncing the muzzle during a long shooting.

Also, a team from the Nankee University of Science and Technology stated that their development requires further improvement, for example, reducing the gaps between joints in the physical model, increasing the ammunition of more than 100 cartridges, checking the accuracy of firing a robotic dog during movement. The publication also drew attention to the fact that the US Marine Corps purchased several units of works of Chinese production last year to evaluate their combat efficiency.

This can lead to problems because the military may not fully understand the internal operation of the devices. But this is not the main problem. The fact is that such a weapon that works on the basis of artificial intelligence is still controlled by people, otherwise the "rebellion of cars" will not be avoided. Earlier, we wrote that in China we showed the first robot-dog with an automatic machine gun. The robot demonstrated the possibility of shooting up to 650 shots per minute.
