Robotic camels; Think Tank Discussion

Recently our Think Tank was discussing robotic camels and how cool they are. It is surprising that robotics have come this far. The Japanese have a robot, which can run without falling, and now a Swiss company is making a Camel Riders, which can be used to race camels, which is a great thing in the Middle East. Isn’t that something?

One of our members, Swift, found out after doing some research that the country of Qatar had contracted with the Swiss firm K-Team to create robotic camel jockeys. A human Camel Jockey like a Race Horse Jockey must be small and light to give the Camel a competitive advantage. But it is often difficult to find skilled young people who can do this. There was some abuse as some of the racing groups have gone to South Asia and Africa to borrow children to use in the sport. It has angered some people, which is why they have turned to 35-pound robotic child jockeys. This is just one of the ways that robots are helping the human race and preventing kidnapping and eventually they may have robotic camels as well.

This was becoming an animated topic in our expert group as I always thought Robot Wars was a good way to stop cockfighting, which seems cruel to animals. Kind of cruel and with bird flu the last thing you want is to bleed chickens all over the place. If all these birds are slaughtered, maybe that sport will stop. Although you never know with robotics, someone could create robotic chickens to fight; maybe the size of Big Bird?

Of course, in the Middle East with all the fighting going on, the last thing you want is a robot on a camel. Swift said a hotel or bus full of innocent civilians in a senseless and murderous act could be used as a weapon to attack coalition troops or God forbid.

I can’t imagine the problems with something like that; a camel pump? Talking about cruelty to animals, that’s disgusting; Although in the Russians they tried to use dogs in wartime, but when they got close to their targets sometimes the shots scared them and they ran back and exploded and killed their masters. Dolphins have been used in wartime, but only to place the detonation device and swim safely. Does the United States apparently have nobler feelings toward animals than other cultures?

Swift told the Think Tank, what if one of these ran into an Iraqi resort or hotel in the Middle East and took the place away? Murderous camels. No one would suspect if several hundred entered a city and took the entire place. They might think it was a race they hadn’t heard of. Camels move in a somewhat rigid way, so it wouldn’t be very difficult to replicate that kind of movement in a robotic version. People could be caught, then, or the jockey could yell “yahoo” and wipe out the place.

It seems to me that we can see more and more animals used in conjunction with robots. A recent researcher had discovered a way to place a surveillance camera on top of a turtle and if it went off in the wrong direction, the device would vibrate and it was unpleasant for the “Desert Tortoise”, causing it to head in the intended direction. and then take a full motion video. power or digital images that you would send wirelessly. It could even be used to search for earthquake victims.

Swift indicated that there is a fish called Stargazer that would also make an interesting robotic survival system. Which could be used in place of a fully robotic AUV autonomous underwater vehicle. The fish It is found at the bottom of water sources and looks a lot like a death mask. It vertically explodes out of its lair and grabs fish, but it can also rest at the bottom of a river and protect it and then go up to take pictures if someone tries to cross or in wartime take out the infiltrated enemy as it would be safer than land mines , which remained there for years after a war until a poor civilian shoots the device and breaks a limb. The device would have a positioning GPS and could be detonated after the war or be picked up. The robot could do the same as evolved organic fish, but come out of the water and react like a heat-seeking missile that kills warm-blooded people as it moves parallel to the surface of the river.

I guess as a single mission bomb “Pigeon” from a flying MAV aerial vehicle maybe it will be used one day. Or maybe fly undetected like a fake robotic bird and take pictures. One problem with using robotic camels is that they sound expensive to make and what about the roadside bombs that take your camel out? Ah ha, a Trojan Camel indeed, maybe I read too much history, but it could work. The idea of ​​the fish is totally interesting and it could also be inflatable and blow up in a balloon and then go airborne for surveillance. I had designed a robotic stingray like that or at least made some drawings and calculated the costs.

Swift said that there is also an eel called the snake that is found in the Indonesian area. It sinks into the volcanic sands so that only its head sticks out of the water. Maybe you’ve seen it on Science, Discovery, or Animal Channel? This could be used to spy on China and Southeast Asia, because they have over 2000 industrial spies in our country already looking for secrets from military contractors.

Since the eel is a predator, if someone saw one, they would surely not go near it, so it would be easy to keep it in one area undisturbed. Both creatures look very primitive, so they would be easy to style. Both are found in the Lembeh Strait in Indonesia and live among the coral reefs there. There is also a mantis shrimp that has complex stem eyes that offer a nearly 360-degree view.

I thought this was a groundbreaking idea and the eel idea is easy to build using polymeric muscles and could be beneficial. 360 vision is generally an attribute of a species of prey, not a species of predator. But if people were afraid of him, he would keep them away, wouldn’t he? Maybe it could also surprise anyone who gets close? Robotic animals, fish, and birds are fast approaching us and are generally ignored by wildlife, but are often curious; wondering what is this anyway? Think about these robotic themes.
