This is Testudo, a remote-controlled roving robot developed by Mindsheet for military use. With a range of around half a mile, the robot is designed to act as an advance party to scout out a building or area before troops go in.
The robot was on display at the Ministry of Defence's (MoD) launch of the Defence Technology Plan (DTP) in London last week.
Minister for defence equipment and support, Quentin Davies, explained that the DTP is about communicating the long term plans and needs of the military to industry to encourage innovation and the development of suitable technologies.
Mindsheet is one of a number of small- to medium-sized businesses that have recently won contracts from the MoD to develop and test technology for potential deployment with the military in the future.
