Army Researchers Work on Robot With Muscle Tissue! Will They be Used in Actual Combat?

Army scientists are currently working on a robot that has human-like muscle tissues. This means that robotics clearly has improved for the past few years.

Robots and other types of machines are currently essential, especially since they're in an ongoing global pandemic. Researchers and other experts are using them for medicinal purposes and other tasks.

ARL also added that the first applications for the biohybrid robotics will focus on legged platforms such as the U.S. Marine Corps Legged Squad Support System (LS3) and the Army's Legged Locomotion and Movement Adaptation (LLAMA) research platform.

"One obstacle that faces ground-based robots today is an inability to instantly adjust or adapt to unstable terrain," explained Culver.

The army researcher also added that he and his collaborators are considering to use the new machine in developing flapping-wing drones.

He said that this kind of drone is possible since muscle is a big factor in animals' ability to navigate unreliable and uneven terrain.

The U.S. Army uses robots in battle practices

According to The Daily Mail UK's latest report, the U.S. Army is currently using unique robots to train its soldiers. Before the G-366 arrives, military personnel use stationary targets at a firing range during the training. And now, the military agency is using autonomous robots in the field. These machines have the capability to fall when they are shot. They can also charge at the shooters and curse at them in 57 different dialects.
