Switzerland is considered the Silicon Valley of robotics. In 2022, it ranked first in the global innovation index, but military robotics is still in its infancy. In order not to miss the topic, the army has created the Swiss Drone and Robotics Center. The department wants to benefit from civil research and organizes an event called Arche every year. There, researchers meet with the military to test drones and robots. Blick was there and presented the latest innovations.
AI diving robot
Proteus is an underwater robot that can dive to a depth of 300 meters. As a search robot, it traces objects and people. Thanks to an integrated AI, it autonomously explores a predetermined area. If necessary, a human takes the lead. The military has already tested the robot for ammunition recovery. However, Proteus is still in the prototype stage.
Indoor drone
The Elios 3 drone can fly indoors thanks to a protective cage. In Australia it has already been used to inspect a mine. There she made a 3D model of the cave. At present, it is still controlled by humans. However, the plan is to make the drone more autonomous. Currently, Elios 3 is not intended for military use.
robotic dog
His nickname was once Neymar because, like the Brazilian footballer, he fell over for no apparent reason. But thanks to artificial intelligence, the Anymal robot is now better on its feet. He even opens doors with a grab arm. If a building is on fire, he can investigate the situation before firefighters endanger themselves. It also penetrates irradiated areas. And to defuse bombs, he could remove the explosive on site or carry it out of harm’s way.
drone hunter
It flies at 230 km/h and hunts drones. The “Sentinel Catch” itself is a drone. Once she catches the flying object, she casts a net, intercepts the drone and parachutes to the ground with no debris raining down from the sky. For example, it can be used at airports to protect the airspace.
