The Gnom UGV from Temerland is now equipped with a mobile Shuttle drone for evacuating the wounded

Temerland, the Ukrainian developer of robotic systems, has upgraded its Gnom platform, which is now fitted with a mobile robot for evacuating the wounded. A video of the test was released by the company’s CEO, Eduard Trotsenko.

Shuttle is a mobile robot situated on the ‘intelligent evacuation trolley’ of the Gnom platform. A winch cable runs through it, which can be unwound for 15 metres or more. When the robotic arm grabs the wounded person’s equipment and uniform, the winch, with a force of 1.5 tonnes, pulls them onto the evacuation trolley.

Currently, the developers are working on a robotic arm that will be based on a neural network. This will enable it to independently locate and grab the wounded person’s equipment.

The Gnom platform is equipped with various types of communication: Starlink, LTE, and optical and radio communication. The mobile robot is controlled via a mobile phone installed on the platform, which connects to the robot via WiFi. The same phone provides communication and video calls with the wounded person.

In addition to its evacuation function, the Gnom platform is being tested for other combat missions. A recent test was conducted where the platform dropped five TM62 mines. The Gnom can also serve as a platform for a combat module. The robot is currently being tested with the 3rd Assault Brigade near the front line.
