20100155156 | ENERGETICALLY AUTONOMOUS TACTICAL ROBOT AND ASSOCIATED METHODOLOGY OF OPERATION - A robotic apparatus is provided that forages for a suitable fuel and is guided by an autonomous control system. The robotic apparatus automatically decides to search for suitable fuel and execute activities required to locate the suitable fuel and distinguish the suitable fuel from unsuitable fuel. Once the suitable fuel is identified, the apparatus moves to the fuel via a platform. A robotic arm and end effector grasp and transport the suitable fuel to a power generator to convert the suitable fuel to energy to power the robotic apparatus. | 06-24-2010 |
