Abstract: An electromechanical soldier equipped with standard armament, reconnoiter and data gathering equipment replaces soldiers, police officers and the like in dangerous, and life-threatening situations. The soldier may be equipped with interchangeable weapon systems coupled to a chassis. The chassis rotates the weapons in a 360 degree manner while the altitude of the weaponry may be raised and lowered. A global positioning system may be included for location and control by a remote operator. The soldier may be equipped with omni and vertical direction view cameras for performing surveillance and target acquisition. It may be equipped with titanium armor for withstanding attacks. The chassis is equipped with wheels for maneuvering it across rough terrain and stairs. It may be programmed with facial, voice and other such recognition systems. Duplex communications is provided between the soldier and a remote operator for providing operating instructions and real-time data.

Abstract: An electromechanical sparring partner simulates the movement and appearance of a human sparring partner. The arms and torso of the electromechanical sparring partner includes motors or actuators arranged such that the electromechanical sparring partner can throw and receive punches in an anatomically correct fashion. The torso of the sparring partner includes motors or actuators that tilt the torso from left to right and front to back. The torso connects to a base and may also twist or turn about a vertical axis. Actuators or motors raise and lower the arm as well as retract and extend the lower arm to simulate a variety of punches. The motors or actuators that move the arms and torso can be independently controlled or controlled in concert to throw a variety of punches.
