According to the developer, the Gnome ground platform will be equipped with a neural network, voice control and the ability to receive commands using ultrasound or coded sound of birdsong.
The Gnome ground robotics platform from Ukrainian manufacturer Temerland military integrates all the functions of the 6-year-old Laska platform, especially artificial intelligence (AI) elements. The developer announced this on Facebook on June 5.
It is reported that the Gnome platform will have a voice control function and a neural network for object recognition, as well as remote control. The drone will also have new optics: PC Rasber and a mobile phone. Additionally, work is underway to transmit discrete commands using ultrasound or the coded sound of birdsong.
Note that the Gnome platform was introduced at the Security 2.0 security technology fair in October last year. This robot is reportedly capable of silently delivering ammunition to the army, tracking the enemy from a distance of 5 kilometers, and removing the wounded from the battlefield. The drone can also receive a radio signal, amplify it, and transmit it further by acting as a repeater.
What is known about the Laska platform
The developer’s official website states that the robotic platform Laska (LASKA 2.0) is a multifunctional fire support and reconnaissance vehicle at the company-battalion level to protect the perimeter and borders. The platform can be equipped with all kinds of weapons.
According to the creators, Laska has autonomous movement and task execution functions. Two onboard NVIDIA Jetson computers allow the platform to monitor the path and process objects and obstacles from all directions with a neural network, and two programmable PLC controllers are responsible for the movement of the platform and control of the turret.
The robot can independently track a moving object, patrol a surrounding area, move from one point to another, and also independently return “home” if the control channel is disrupted. The platform can be managed both locally and remotely. The control range is 1-2 kilometers. Visualization during control occurs via smart glass, smartphone, tablet or PC.
Let us remind you that the soldiers of the 6th Battalion of the 12th Brigade of NSU “Azov” received Ukrainian-made Sirko-S1 ground robotic platforms designed for reconnaissance, cargo transportation and evacuation of the wounded.
Earlier, senior lieutenant of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Yabchenko, stated that Russia has also started using ground robots in combat and may start their mass production earlier than Ukraine.
