According to a Russian military channel, engineers in the Krasny Lyman sector have developed a prototype hexapod robot designed to replace sappers in dangerous areas. The robot, called 'Hexapod,' can carry sensors and is intended for covert mine-laying in high-risk zones. The prototype is still being refined.
A Russian military channel reported that engineers from Brigade 45 have developed a prototype hexapod robot called 'Hexapod' (הקספוד) in the Krasny Lyman sector. The robot, which moves like a spider, is designed for sapper tasks such as covert mine-laying in high-risk areas. According to the report, the robot can be equipped with various sensors to detect tilt angles. The development was carried out by young engineers as a side project during operational missions. The prototype is still undergoing improvements, and final technical specifications have not been released. The channel noted that while multi-legged robots are not new, this is a novel military application. The report is based on a single source and remains unverified.
