Russia's comprehensive military capability has long occupied the second position, and the same as the boss of the United States, Russia has always been more aggressive on the war, in order to maintain their own military level, they are building the most cutting-edge military products, including, robots.
In the US, the most familiar military robots are the Bigdog and Atlas series developed by Boston. In the latest public test video, we can see that Bigdog can run as nimbly as a human, and Atlas not only walks like a human, but also has hands that can grab objects like a human.
With Bigdog and Atlas in the U.S., Russia is certainly not missing out. Over the past few years, Russia has unveiled a number of combat robots, mostly tracked, including Platforma-M, which took part in military drills in the Kaliningrad Oblast in 2014, as well as a humanoid combat robot that can ride a motorcycle that came to light in early 2015 as a result of a visit by Vladimir Putin to Russia's Central Research and Precision Mechanical and Equipment Construction Institute, and the ongoing development of the "Avatar" robot under development.
Russia doesn't have many humanoid robots, and they recently developed one. However, unlike the Atlas, which does its actions autonomously, the Russian one is controlled by humans through their mind, which means that the robot will do whatever the human does.
From the publicly available video, the robot mimics humans in simple actions such as welding metal and flattening cans, and its fluidity is comparable to that of Atlas. However, the robot is not walking in the video, so it's hard to tell how well it can walk, which is Atlas' strong suit.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the robot would not only be used by the military, but would be a key focus for future use on the space station, where it might be able to perform functions such as spacewalking and repair. This shows that the robot has the ability to walk.
For now, the robot and Atlas actually belong to two categories of robots, Atlas, if the battlefield, will be to accept human commands to act autonomously, while the robot is a human action replacement, copying its movements exactly.
Russia's such robots are also called stand-in robots, that is, instead of human beings to perform certain actions, and this type of robots actually have a lot of room to play, such as the movie "Pacific Rim" in the giant mechs, the two drivers through the neuron ensemble, can be synchronized to manipulate these cyborgs. And these giant robots exert far more energy than humans.
Either way, the ultimate goal of Russia and the United States is to create legions of robots. These robots are still being tested and developed, and their ultimate home will be the battlefield, where they will compete!
