The Age of Robotics: Battlefield Lessons from Ukraine
Ark Robotics hosts a private side event during the Estonian Defense Week on how robots are changing today’s battlefields. Drawing on lessons from Ukraine, this will be a practical discussion on the future of autonomy in warfare. With Ark expanding into Estonia, we will look at how Europe can build resilience through local manufacturing and deployment. Visitors will see Ark robots on site, including the first preview of our latest UGV platform and Frontier Drone Kit in Estonia.
