Zoox is an autonomous vehicle engineered for urban mobility, utilizing advanced robotics and AI algorithms for navigation and passenger interaction. The vehicle's design prioritizes rider experience, featuring a bidirectional layout and integrated safety systems. It operates within defined geofenced areas, employing LIDAR and computer vision technologies to ensure real-time environmental awareness and obstacle detection, enhancing operational efficiency in complex urban environments.
RSF defines a common language for robot service capability, lifecycle operations, certification pathways, and service-provider networks.
Ukraine fielded 15,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2025 — surpassing its own procurement targets by over 100 percent. A single UGV held a front-line position for 45 days. Up to 90 percent of supplies to Pokrovsk now move by robot, not truck. The U.S. Army cancelled its $3 million Robotic Combat Vehicle and is starting over. China is deploying $3,000 robot dogs in PLA urban-warfare exercises. This article maps the emerging UGV battlefield — from Ukraine’s garage-built logistics fleet to the Pentagon’s stalled combat-vehicle ambitions, and from Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to the quadruped proliferation problem no treaty has yet addressed.
