Robot Crawls and Walks in Poisonous Environments

An anthropomorphic (resembling a human) robot that can walk and crawl, has human like movements and size has been developed to test chemical warfare protection clothing for the US Army.

One of the most striking features of this robot is that it can remain standing even when you attempt to knock it over.

The Engineering and robotics design company Boston Dynamics is also responsible for the development of several other robots primarily for military applications at present.

MITRE Immersive Vision System

For decades, the concept of visual telepresence has been suggested as part of the solution for both the problem of mental mapping and the problem of interface complexity. Telepresence technologies use interfaces and sensory input to mimic interaction with a remote environment to trick your brain into thinking you’re actually in the remote environment. Visual telepresence tricks your eyes into thinking they’ve been transplanted into a remote environment.

“With remote robot interaction we can use visual telepresence to trick users’ brains into thinking their eyes have been transported onto the robot,” says Kyle Fawcett. “This unlocks the brain’s natural ability to build a mental model of the remote environment. The better our vision system mimics interaction with the remote environment, the more we tap into our brain’s natural spatial mapping abilities.”
