Tests of the Robotic Platform “Marker” on the Eastern Cosmodrome are completed. The robot, which was previously called deadly, offline patrolled the perimeter of the cosmodrome. This is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Foundation for promising research (FPI).
On the East applied the “marker” on the wheel chassis, equipped with a universal optical electronic module. The press service of FPIs noted that during patroling the robot was moving offline on a given route. The system of technical vision allowed the machine to determine the obstacles on the path.
Experiment with a marker as an element of a space security system began on October 8. The robotechnic complex ensured control of the state of communications of the cosmodrome and monitor the integrity of the perimeter.
Earlier in October, the head of Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, showed video on Twitter using “Marker” on the East space cosmodrome. The head of the state corporation noted that the robotechnic complex took over the combat duty.
In September, the Forbes edition published a material about the progress in creating a “marker”. The author suggested that Russia earlier than the United States will begin the use of unmanned systems in the field.
Over the creation of a robotic platform “Marker” runs the Fund of promising research and scientific and production association “Android technique”. The robot can carry small arms and grenade launchers to combat terrestrial and air targets.
