BEAR Robot Can Pick Up and Rescue Soldiers

The US army is developing a robot that can rescue wounded soldiers on a battlefield. The remote-controlled robot is called Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot (Bear). Its capability will be travel over bumpy terrain while carrying a wounded soldier in its arms.  The prototype can lift more than 135kg (300lb) with one arm and climb stairs while holding a human-sized dummy. The robot’s face looks like a teddy bear with and ears and big eyes. It is expected to be ready for a field test within five years.

Bear's legs are fitted with tracks for rugged terrain and wheels for travelling over smooth surfaces. Computers linked to gyroscopes adjust the position of the machine's lower body if it is about to fall over. It is anticipated that the robot will also be used by the military to carry heavy equipment. (spluch.blogspot)
