Tom Atwood of Robot magazine wrote
to let us know about a new
article posted on their website that's loaded with photos and
diagrams of the Vecna
Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR). The BEAR is a rescue
robot designed to extact injured people from dangerous situations where
human rescue teams can't reach them. Possible uses include extracting
people from "buildings rendered unsafe due to fire, mudslide or
explosion, as well as areas contaminated with biological or chemical
toxins or nuclear radiation." It can also extract wounded soldiers
from battlefields, which explains why the Army's Telemedicine and
Advanced Technology Research Center is funding development.
