Israel Aerospace Industries and Elbit Systems developed an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle or UGV called Guardium. Guardium UGV is an autonomous observation system which could be carried out for routine patrol. This vehicle is applicable to be used to make perimeter and hold enemies in line while waiting for security support arrive. Equipped with automated tactical positioning system this UGV is capable of working autonomously at speed up to 80 km per hour. With TomCar chassis this vehicle is able of carrying payload up to 300 kg including the protective armor shield.

Here is another robot fish that looks like a real fish and swims just like one of them. This robot fish appears like a red snapper fish with its shiny red scale. This red snapper robot fish was built by engineers at the University of Kitakyushu that was led by professor Ikuo Yamamoto. Their red snapper robot fish was developed to explore underwater area. This red snapper robot fish named “Tai-robot-kun” with realistic body made of silicone covered with hand-painted shiny red scale. Tai-robot-kun is given a unique movement system which mimicking a real swimming fish. The propulsion system made on this red snapper robot fish allows the robot fish to swim just like a real swimming fish (check the video bellow).

There are many kinds of robot competition in worldwide; one of the biggest is the Robocup. For some country they have their annual national scientific and engineering competition like Estonia does. They named their robotic competition as Robotex with their slogan “Where brains and metal meet”. This competition started in 2001 where took place in Tallinn University of Technology on November 9th. In this competition students of the university and University of Tartu should build robot that able to move along the marked track and also pass the obstacles. This Estonia robotic competition’s winner will get a massive prize of 6000 Euro with free registration.
