Ukrainian troops are using remotely-operated wheeled robots to construct defensive obstacles in dangerous locations where military engineers face direct exposure.
The ground robot carries coils of wire on specially designed frames, releasing the material across designated areas as it moves forward.
Images from the Ukrainian military show one of these autonomous vehicles with six wheels, but the manufacturer and model remain unknown.
Ground robots take over dangerous engineering duties
The ground robot comes with a specially constructed framework mounted above its wheels that helps it to hold the wire rolls in place.
Its sloping support structure permits the material to unwind gradually while the machine advances, creating obstacles along the chosen route.
