I. Statement of the Problem
Most robots today are used to do repetitive actions or jobs considered too dangerous
for humans. Military robots are autonomous robots for military applications, from transport to
search & rescue and attack. The majority of military robots are tele-operated they are used for
reconnaissance, surveillance, sniper detection, and neutralizing explosive devices. Military
robot would save and preserve soldiers' lives by minimizing serving soldiers, who might
otherwise be killed, from the battlefield.
II. Robot Design
A Supersoldier is a concept soldier, often fictional, capable of operating beyond
normal human limits or abilities. It can help to lessen lives specially military soldiers.

B. Discussion about the abilities of the Robot

Military soldier can be used for lots of things. Some of the things are taking pictures,
firing a gun, disarming bombs, carrying wounded soldiers, detecting mines, firing missiles,
flying.

1. Sensors

Sensors provide analogs to human senses and can monitor other phenomena for
which humans lack explicit sensors.

 Simple Touch: Sensing an object's presence or absence.

 Complex Touch: Sensing an object's size, shape and/or hardness.
 Simple Force: Measuring force along a single axis.
 Complex Force: Measuring force along multiple axes.
 Simple Vision: Detecting edges, holes and corners.
  Complex Vision: Recognizing objects.
 Proximity: Non-contact detection of an object.

Sensors can measure physical properties, such as the distance between objects, the presence
of light and the frequency of sound. They can measure:

 Object Proximity: The presence/absence of an object, bearing, color, distance between

objects.
 Physical orientation. The co-ordinates of object in space.
 Heat: The wavelength of infrared or ultra violet rays, temperature, magnitude, direction.
 Chemicals: The presence, identity, and concentration of chemicals or reactants.
 Light: The presence, color, and intensity of light.
 Sound: The presence, frequency, and intensity of sound

Important sensors:

 Contact: Are those which require physical contact against other objects to trigger.
 Tilt: Measure tilt of an object
 Navigation or Positioning: Localization refers to the task of automatically determining
locations of a robot in complex environment.
 Acceleration: An accelerometer is a device which measures acceleration and tilt.
 Radar sensors
 Identical sensors

IMU (Inertia Measurement Units)

 2. Actuators

This particular type of robot requires hydraulic actuators which is the main system
that gives the robot to have the capability to move and walk.

3. Effectors

The main end effector of the robot is on its palm which serves as its weapon battle.
The palm has an opening hole which allows the robot to shoot bullets and small missiles.

4. Controller

The main controller of the system is based under behaviour based control.
