 |  Russia shows off huge war robot Looks like something from Avatar Russia has unveiled a 4.5-ton bulletproof robot that can walk and hold weapons in its giant claws - and looks like something from Avatar and Robocop. The Avatar-style 'bot was revealed by Kalashnikov at the Army 2018 Fair just outside Moscow, as a 'demonstration of what is to come' which means it is in development. Dubbed Igorek, the robot can walk and has space in a cabin for people to sit and operate the robot from inside and can hold and move objects with its claws, including weapons. The pilots are protected from bullets, debris and any other dangerous object behind the armoured glass and metal encasement. While Kalashnikov is remaining tight-lipped on any further details at the moment, Igorek is likely to be used to increase soldiers' strength while providing protection from military and environmental threats. In Sci-Fi such tools are bought down by teddy bears or long haired hippies but are really dangerous to real soldiers. Acid bleeding aliens are curiously vulnerable too. https://fudzilla.com/news/automotive...huge-war-robot |
