Military robots 军事机器人的历史 The vision of robot army isn’t a present day concept. The introduction of military robots is dated back from 1898 by the introduction of radio boats by Nicola Tesla. It was visualized by many visionaries in the last century. They were used by Germans and Russians in Second World War. Russians used Teletanks and Goliath were used by Germans.. radio controlled boat Russians’ Teletanks Germans’ Goliath * Everything started at the end of the 19th century, precisely in 1898. That year the famous inventor Nicola Tesla demonstrated one of his inventions. This invention was a radio controlled boat intended for military use. You can see a model of it to the left. Mr. Tesla offered his invention to US navy in order to produce radio controlled torpedoes. When the navy refused, he offered his invention to the United Kingdom. However, it seems that his invention was just too much to handle for people of that time. The next prominent step in this field was achieved in 1930-ties in the Soviet Union. The soviets made a remotely controlled tank so called - teletank .The tanks control system was modified and pneumatics, electric relays and radio signals were used to control the tank. The teletank could be controlled from 500-1500m away depending of weather and other conditions. The idea was following - two tanks formed a combat pair. One tank, codenamed TT, was a radio controlled tank the other was a command center codenamed ТУ. Goliath is a name of a mobile landmine used in WWII. It was approximately 1,50 m long, 0,85m wide and 0,6 m high. It had two tracks and it was controlled remotely using a wire. The goliath was intended to be blown up at the target. So it was not reusable. The price was one of the reasons why it was not viewed as a great success. Goliath E version cost around 3000 Reich’s Marks and the Goliath V version cost 1000 RM. This was too costly for a single-use weapon. Still, in total 7,564 goliaths were produced.
