In the tests that are planned for next year, three demonstrators of ground-based robots of different sizes will use. These devices will have to conduct reconnaissance, detailed inspection of buildings, as well as carry equipment fighters. Having received this or that team, robots will have to completely independently execute it. Other details of the upcoming trials are not yet known.

      A "robot" is not a "weapon chassis". This is a computer that assesses the situation and makes decisions. And where to put it, on a motorcycle or t-14 - again.
