In the latest episode of the Warchangers project, the developer discussed the ground robotic platform Rysʹ This small robot assists the military with logistics and the evacuation of the wounded. The new project video was announced by Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science, and Technology, and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov on his Facebook page.
According to the developer, the Rysʹ is a ground robotic platform capable of more than just evacuation tasks. When equipped with a turret, it can even perform combat missions. Another advantage is that learning to operate the Rysʹ is quite simple— it can be mastered in just a day, and the platform is easy to use.
The platform can be operated remotely up to 3-5 km with a relay station; without it, the range is about 1.5 km. The robot has a payload capacity of approximately 250 kg and a range of 13 km. It has proven successful during evacuation missions on the Bakhmut front.
The idea to create this platform emerged after the developers spent time with the military on the front lines and recognized the need. The robot meets many of the military’s requirements. Time was limited, and since it was a new development, there was no opportunity to learn from existing examples. The Brave1 cluster served as a development boost for the developers in defense tech, and they are already planning new modifications and the addition of turrets to turn the platform into a ground assault complex.
Mykhailo Fedorov added that the Brave1 cluster supports the development of military technologies in Ukraine and helps developers create innovations.
Earlier, Mykhailo Fedorov spoke about the Ukrainian logistics robot “Volya-E,” which has already saved a hundred injured soldiers. “The logistics robot Volya-E from Brave1 cluster participants helps evacuate the wounded and save lives,” he said. “The military is already actively using it, and overall, thanks to the robot, soldiers from one of the brigades have evacuated over a hundred injured and deceased, many of whom could not be transported by other means.”
