Milrem Robotics' THeMIS off-road autonomy demo

The European leading robotics and autonomous systems developer Milrem Robotics exhibited their Intelligent Functions off-road capabilities at the first demonstration of iMUGS, the project to develop the European standard unmanned ground vehicle.

“Intelligent functions are a crucial part of unmanned systems as they allow soldiers to concentrate on their mission rather than focusing on operating the system. Unmanned ground systems with follow-me, return home, and point-to-point navigation functionalities considerably enhance the fighting capability of units,” said (reserve Captain) Jüri Pajuste, Defence R&D Director at Milrem Robotics.

Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics added: “MIFIK will be delivered to several THeMIS users around the world already this year. Starting from 2022, certified autonomous and intelligent functions will be part of THeMIS’ basic configuration. THeMIS + MIFIK users will receive annual updates with new capabilities and enhancements.”

milrem should do a robotic 4-wheel atv (that can also be ridden/piloted by a soldier lying down) that can move really fast and/or move quietly about rough terrain. It should also continue to be useful even if flips over completely (upside down!).

Dont see it going over any rough terrain ?

It doesn't really makes sense for a bot to follow u on the battle field so that u should rather be at the receiving end of gun shots, the bot must rather lead.

Ni i super, nie pytac tylko strzelac jak idzie jakiś czerwony ogr

I don't think I want to b leading the robotic vehicle... It might run over me in an electromagnetic hostile environment

Ух ты. Эстонцы смогли создать телегу с гусеницами и мотором. Будут дрова возить?

Useless expensive technology! Why would someone spend money for this? Better get a Rumba 😀. At least, that one collects some dust, if too lazy to vacuum clean yourself.
