Recently, the mainland's independently developed "electric yak" has attracted attention, and people's dailys and CCTV news have praised it.
Not long ago, hundreds of unmanned equipment with different forms and abilities in Alxa, Inner Mongolia launched a land unmanned system challenge. Unmanned equipment such as "electric yak" and "police dog" developed and produced by the China North Vehicle Research Institute of China North Industries Group appeared on the field, what new skills do they have?
"Electric Yak" - modern version of "Wooden Cow Running Horse"
This big man is called "electric yak", which is the world's largest, highest load capacity and strongest off-road quadruped bionic robot independently developed by the mainland. Although it is large, it is a "flexible fat man" and can walk like a fly with 160 kilograms of supplies. Its running speed can reach the fastest 10 kilometers per hour, which can be called the modern version of the "wooden cow flowing horse".
Not only that, the "electric yak" also has terrain and environmental perception capabilities, which can cope with a variety of terrain such as steps, trenches, cliffs, etc., showing strong adaptability to the terrain environment, gravel roads, dirt roads, grass, sand, and snow are a piece of cake for it.
How does an "electric yak" achieve stable weight-bearing walking? Originally, it has 12 sets of self-developed joint modules, realizing the configuration of the whole machine with 12 degrees of freedom, which can complete forward, backward, steering and other actions, and successfully unlock a variety of gaits such as diagonal walking, fast trotting, running, jumping and so on.
It can also transport ammunition, food and other materials to soldiers in plateaus, mountains, Gobi, woodlands and other environments that are not conducive to vehicle travel. In addition, the "electric yak" has a hidden skill, that is, close reconnaissance. In a complex environment that is not conducive to soldiers performing their tasks, it can continuously collect battlefield intelligence and reconnoiter target movements.
"Police dog" - with a keen "sense of smell"
The "police dog" four-legged bionic robot and the "yak" division out of the same door, although it looks one size smaller, but the autonomous reconnaissance ability should not be underestimated.
The "police dog" can independently plan the global path, real-time terrain mapping and obstacle avoidance, in mountain reconnaissance, its keen "sense of smell" can quickly detect the "enemy".
The "police dog" has the ability to move in rough terrain, first hidden in the mountain reconnaissance position, relying on the head's optical infrared zoom autonomous gimbal to transmit the reconnaissance data information of the "enemy" vehicles and personnel back to the control end, so as to independently identify vehicles and personnel within 1 kilometer.
In the future, it can be applied to mountain reconnaissance, police detonation detection, security logistics, industrial inspection, embankment inspection and other aspects.
