Russia yesterday unveiled a new combat robot which can shoot, drive a vehicle and provide medical aid.

The new robot called Avatar, which can also travel on variety of Terrain, was designed to function like a human being. The machine is expected to be able to effectively work on its own in the conditions of human infrastructure.

The human-like robot shot with its gun and drove a quad around the training area. Special sensors, attached to the robot’s limbs, allowed an operator to drive the robot remotely.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Central Scientific Research Institute of Precision Engineering Tochmash on Tuesday, where he was presented to a new robot-avatar that could function similar to a human, according to Sputnik News.
