The workshop aims to explore the current challenges around the current usage of robotics and autonomous systems in dismounted soldier operations. It will also examine strategies and future developments in a free-flowing discussion between attendees. The workshop will provide the opportunity to learn and discuss the topic in a more intimate environment, conducive for learning and gaining invaluable insight into the world of land robotics and autonomous systems.
