Anti-terrorism Robot Developed in China

Chinese scientists at Shanghai Jiaotong University have succeeded in developing an anti-terrorism robot to help dismantle explosives after more than four years of strenuous effort.

 

The robot, code named Super-D, is expected to serve at airports and in other public places.

 

The research, headed by Prof. Yang Ruqing, was funded by the "863 Program," China's first technology research and development funding program initiated in March 1986.

 

The one-armed robot is controller by an engineer via a remote controller, noted Yang. It is 120 cm tall, weighs 200 kilograms, can move 40 meters per minute and can climb ladders or slopes above 40 degrees in gradient.
