Google subsidiary made robot, Boston Dynamics, was tested
by the military institution the United States Navy.
Robot prototype named "Spot" that is projected
US Marines to support military operations..
"In my opinion, a robot such as Spot can be used to spy or transport the goods of war," says Boston Dynamics robot maker, Ben Swiling.
As stated on the official website of the US military and compiled KompasTekno, Monday (23/11/2015), the test was conducted on the ability to operate in various fields, such as hills, forests, and urban.
Spot Marines also trained to identify the enemy.
All that is done with control via a laptop or a video game. The controls can be operated at distances up to 500 meters adrift of the robot.
According Swiling, control Spot is easy. "Children four years can operate it," he said.
Robot is about 160 pounds is not the first projected to support the institution. Previously, there was a robot called "LS3" and "BigDog".
However, Spot claimed is a faster version, resilient and efficient to operate.
Moreover, according to Swiling, in moments and certain fields, it helps lower the military advance teams of robots rather than humans.
"Robots can not die. For some dangerous terrain, of course nobody wants to sacrifice humans," he explains. (Kompas)
