The Indian Army is now moving rapidly in the direction of modern technology. In this episode, a special machine has been included to make the border surveillance and operations more powerful, which has been named ‘Robotic Mule’. This is not an ordinary machine but a robot that has the ability to monitor, identify enemies and attack them if needed without any human assistance.
Now this automatic soldier is active with the army on sensitive borders like China and Pakistan. It can not only reach inaccessible areas but can also play a big role in confidential military missions.
Many types of weapons can be fitted in this robotic mule like AK-47, INSAS, LMG, sniper rifle or Tavor. Apart from this, it can carry a military payload of 12 to 15 kg, which also makes it helpful in logistic support.
This robot can easily move not only on flat roads but also on hilly, sandy, snow-covered areas and stairs. Its specialty is also that it is capable of walking in water and crossing small drains. It can run continuously at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour for 3.5 hours and gets fully charged in just one hour. Its battery has the capacity to last up to 21 hours, which makes it ideal for long missions.
This mule is equipped with 5 thermal cameras and many advanced sensors. Its surveillance capability extends to 360 degrees. It has electro-optics and infrared technology, which helps in identifying the enemy or any object. The weight is around 51 kg. The length is 37.5 inches, height is 27 inches and width is 10 inches i.e. quite compact and portable.
The biggest thing is that now the army will have less need to send soldiers to extremely dangerous areas. Robotic mules can go to these inaccessible areas and give accurate information about the enemy’s position and can also take action. This will eliminate the need to put the lives of soldiers at risk.
