Wall-Ye

Wall-Ye, the vineyard robot, created by Christophe Millot, French engineer and inventor, is an unmanned ground vehicle with capabilities to gather and record data, memorize the vineyard, synchronize multiple cameras and use its arms to tackle tasks such as pruning and de-suckering.

Army chooses Carnegie Robotics

Carnegie Robotics experts will design and build several AMDS prototype mine-detection sensor suites and mount them to a government-furnished TALON IV tracked UGV from QinetiQ North America in Reston, Va., which the Army calls the Man-Transportable Robotic System (MTRS).

The AMDS consists of a suite of three payload modules to be deployed on an MTRS unmanned vehicle:

1. The mine detection and marking payload module
2. The explosive hazards detection and marking payload module
3. The neutralization payload module.

• The mine detection and marking payload module remotely detects and marks surface-laid and buried metallic and low-metallic antitank and antipersonnel land mines and scatterable munitions.
• The explosive hazards detection and marking payload module remotely detects and marks surface laid, partially buried. and camouflaged explosive hazards.
• The neutralization payload module, meanwhile, remotely neutralizes surface laid, buried and camouflaged explosive hazards.
