Emergency services, hazardous industries, and the military may soon have a new assistant. A new Russian unmanned control system for cars and armored vehicles, "Tikhon," is being tested.
"Tikhon" arrived in Lugansk with its developers from Moscow. It is a nearly twelve-kilogram robot in a suitcase, which is controlled via a remote. "Tikhon" is capable of working with various types of transport: cars, SUVs, armored cars, and even armored vehicles.
The robot is expected to be used for the needs of the Ministry of Defense for the delivery of ammunition, food, water, and the evacuation of the wounded. However, "Tikhon" is also promising for peaceful purposes. It is reported that the robot will be effective in hazardous industries, on trucks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in disaster areas where there is a risk of personnel loss, or for performing transportation in large warehouses and large complexes.
The robot is completely domestic and import-independent, so it is easy to manufacture and supplement. The developers noted that they will at least lighten it by half, to 6 kilograms.
It is also known that "Tikhon" will not be used on public roads and major highways. It can be easily packed into a suitcase and reach its destination with the driver, and then be installed on the vehicle as needed.
