Ukraine is deeply committed to the field of robotics, dedicating significant time and resources to its advancement. The robotization is crucial for safeguarding the lives of Ukrainian defenders, Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, reports.

One notable development in this area is the ARK-1 robot. This compact, nearly silent, all-wheel-drive robot is utilized by the military for various missions. It can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour and is capable of delivering light ammunition, medical supplies, and provisions to forward positions. Additionally, it can operate as a kamikaze, targeting and neutralizing enemy equipment and fortifications. A key advantage of the ARK-1 robot is that its operator can control it from a safe distance of up to 20 kilometers.
