A new robot type has entered service, as it demonstrated its capacity in a recent bomb disposal exercise by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The commissioning of such a device is an example of the PLA’s modernization as machines have replaced humans in dangerous missions and increased combat efficiency, analysts said on Wednesday.
An engineer and nuclear, biological and chemical defense brigade under the PLA 71st Group Army recently held a human-robot integration tactical training in East China’s Anhui Province, in which the new bomb disposal robot made its debut, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Tuesday.
Remotely controlled by an operator, the robot crossed a contaminated zone, climbed over steep slopes of nearly 40 degrees and used water cannons to dispose of explosives, CCTV reported.
