NUMO Robotics unveils LOKO wheeled UGV

Ukrainian robotic systems manufacturer NUMO Robotics has unveiled the LOKO wheeled UGV. The platform is designed to transport cargo and recover damaged or stuck vehicles, the company told Defender Media.

LOKO is an electric UGV equipped with four motors and a modular cargo platform. Folding side panels and an additional logistics module allow the platform’s usable area to be increased to accommodate oversized cargo.

For equipment recovery, the system is fitted with a tow hitch, which allows it to tow other UGVs to a repair site. A damaged robotic platform can also be placed directly on LOKO’s cargo platform.

The system has a maximum speed of 20 km/h on hard surfaces and 12 km/h off-road. Its range is up to 80 km, while its continuous operating time is up to five hours, depending on operating conditions. Its payload capacity is up to 500 kg.

LOKO has already undergone trials in combat conditions. According to the company, feedback from military personnel was used to make further improvements to the platform’s design and functionality. NUMO Robotics is currently preparing the system for codification.

According to the company, its robotic systems are used by more than 60 military units.

Defender Media previously reported on the category of amphibious UGVs available on the government-run Brave1 Market.
