In the 1930s, the USSR developed the Teletank, a small tank, armed with a machine gun, and remotely controlled by radio from another tank. The unmanned car was controlled wirelessly via radio it was thought the technology could someday be adapted to tanks. Ī working remote controlled car was reported in the October 1921 issue of RCA's World Wide Wireless magazine. In 1904, the Spanish engineer Leonardo Torres Quevedo, while developing a radio-based control system he named Telekino, chose to conduct an initial test in the form of a three-wheeled land vehicle (tricycle), which had an effective range of just 20 to 30 meters, in which appears to be the first known example of a radio-controlled unmanned ground vehicle.
Unmanned robotics are being actively developed for both civilian and military use to perform a variety of dull, dirty, and dangerous activities. The UGV is the land-based counterpart to unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned underwater vehicles. Generally, the vehicle will have a set of sensors to observe the environment, and will either autonomously make decisions about its behavior or pass the information to a human operator at a different location who will control the vehicle through teleoperation. UGVs can be used for many applications where it may be inconvenient, dangerous, or impossible to have a human operator present. A Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle Unmanned hybrid tankĪn unmanned ground vehicle ( UGV) is a vehicle that operates while in contact with the ground and without an onboard human presence. For the application to road vehicles, see Self-driving car. For the system, see Automated driving system. This article is about the general class of vehicle.
