Singapore plans to expand the city-state’s defense and security forces through mobile robots, and has established a partnership with Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics through its national defense technology agency.
This is a company known for developing robot-based defense and homeland security systems that have recently disrupted the wider public by displaying robotic dogs equipped with sniper rifles.
The Singaporean agency stated that the partnership will seek to “identify cases involving legged robots for security, defense and humanitarian applications” that can be “deployed in challenging urban terrain and harsh environments.”
The collaboration will also see robots from Ghost Robotics paired with the robot command, control, and communication system of the defense science agency, which uses data analysis, artificial intelligence, and computer vision technology to promote “closer” in military and other emergency operations. Coordination” and effectiveness.
“Future Battlefield”
First, the partnership will test and develop “new technologies and use cases” for quadruped ground robots that accompany autonomous vehicles. Power technologies such as solid-state batteries or fuel cells will also be integrated to allow robotic systems to run for a long time.
Singaporean officials said that these robots will further “improve the defense capabilities of robots and shape the battlefield of the future.”
