ARMOLAB has conducted large-scale tests of its domestic ground robotic system 'Robonoshi', designed for medical evacuation in combat conditions. The main objective of the tests was to verify the maximum payload capacity and structural reliability in extreme situations close to frontline realities.
Testing Process and Technical Capabilities
During the tests, the complex demonstrated impressive endurance indicators. The platform successfully transported a man — a company employee named Nazar, whose weight is 170 kg. This figure even exceeds the base calculated load stated in the technical specifications, confirming the huge margin of safety of ARMOLAB's development.
Modernization Based on Combat Experience
The creation and refinement of 'Robonoshi' were carried out in close cooperation with medical units operating in the Kupyansk direction. The feedback received from the military allowed engineers to make key changes to the design of the complex. In particular, the battery compartment was completely optimized, making it possible to quickly and conveniently replace batteries, and their total capacity increased, raising the cruising range from 10 to 20 kilometers on a single charge.
Design Improvements and Ergonomics
In addition, the developers paid special attention to the protection and comfort of evacuated fighters. The fixation wings are made of thicker metal with reinforced closing nodes, and a special pillow appeared on the carrying fabric designed to prevent asphyxiation and minimize harmful vibration loads when moving over rough terrain. A wide auxiliary roller with an improved deployment mechanism also improved the overall cross-country capability of the chassis.
The Role of Ground Robots at the Front
Experts note that ground robotic systems in Ukraine are currently becoming a critically important element of logistics and evacuation, often surpassing traditional armored vehicles in efficiency under heavy enemy fire. Previously, experts noted a multiple increase in the number of UGV missions at the frontline, emphasizing the need for further scaling of such technologies and their integration into the defense forces.
