In the press entered the first official information about the project of company iRobot under the code name Sentinel ("guard"). It is known that the project finances the Defense Ministry OF THE USA. The purpose of project - development of new net technology, which would make possible for operator to govern simultaneously several semiautonomous robots, coordinating their actions with the aid of the computer, equipped with sensory screen. Within the framework of project Sentinel also occurs the work on the "intellectual" navigation abilities, which will give the possibility to be advanced to the previously outlined boundary in the autonomous regime to robots, preodolevaya of obstacle and solving the problems, which appear on the motion of motion, without the interference of operator. As the basic field of applications Sentinel are called observation, the reconnaissance, topographic survey. It is assumed that with the aid of the robots the servicemen will obtain the possibility to carry out reconnaissance and to be prepared for further actions, without subjecting soldiers mark.
