American soldiers experimenting with robotics as a way to protect against possible ambushes. Incorporate one of the robots is one of the tanks that are being undertaken to reduce the number of human casualties in the battle. This is reflected ZDNet in the gallery has, which exposed images of the robots being used. The program has a family of robots ranging from aircraft engines for land vehicles, all remotely controlled wirelessly.
The robots can help the soldiers in dangerous situations, such as checking the inside of buildings or detect explosives. Different variations of the popular iRobot have been used in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to the evolution of these robots, an image gallery ZDNet draws particular attention. This is the command to control a robot SUGV (Small Unmanned Ground Vehicles and small land vehicle with remote control), a command identical to the Xbox 360 console from Microsoft:
If any doubt remained in the picture above, it offers a close-up of glasses of operations and command:

Honda's popular humanoid, the "ASIMO" and the domestic help and talking robot from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries called "Wakamaru", are also present in the sample.
The University of Tokyo presented a robotic suit that allows women to people with physical disabilities or carrying heavy loads. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about robots, thanks to a scene of demonstrations and a variety of areas where robots are grouped thematically.
