GEREON ground robots from Germany's ARX Robotics, fitted with the SABER combat module made by Ukraine's ROBONEERS, are in production and being delivered, ARX co-founder and chief executive Marc Wietfeld told Ukrinform.

The two companies have tested the robots for more than logistics, Wietfeld said, including firing weapons and reconnaissance, and in future possibly electronic warfare and counter-drone systems. For now, logistics remains their main use in Ukraine.

ARX sees the GEREON, HECTOR and Rys Pro as platforms for mounting different systems and for bringing automated and autonomous technology into ground operations step by step. The companies earlier completed the first integration tests of the SABER module on the GEREON.
