Ukrainian robotic systems developer and manufacturer Tencore has presented an ecosystem of ground robotic solutions, the company said in a press release. The ecosystem will include UGVs and components from several manufacturers. It already features a wheeled UGV from TOR and an amphibious vehicle from NODRICS.

Tencore says the launch will let military units get ground robots for any task from a single supplier, instead of assembling a “technological zoo” on their own.

The project’s initiators are not disclosing the terms of participation. Tencore Ecosystem currently includes:

  1. The TerMIT tracked system for logistics, casualty evacuation, engineering tasks and fire support.
  2. The TOR 4×4 wheeled UGV with enhanced off-road capability and armoured run-flat wheels for logistics and cargo transport in difficult conditions.
  3. The MAT1LDA 8×8 amphibious wheeled all-terrain vehicle from NODRICS, for crossing water obstacles and traversing difficult terrain.
  4. The TRAX Utility firefighting and rescue platform.

The ecosystem will include not only new platforms but also components for them. In particular, the Tencore team has already introduced the AI KIT software and hardware module, which enables a UGV to switch to autonomous mode and either continue its route or return to base if communication is lost.

Tencore added that the ecosystem launch is also an invitation to cooperate with Ukrainian and foreign engineers, startups, and manufacturers.
