Milrem Robotics, the leading robotics and autonomous systems developer, will exhibit their Type-X Robotic Combat Vehicle for the first time at IDEX 2021.
The Type-X RCV is designed to support mechanized units and will become an intelligent wingman to main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. It will be capable of taking on the most dangerous tasks and positions, resulting in lower lethality risk.
The robotic combat vehicle can be fitted with a cannon up to 50 mm hence it will provide equal or overmatching firepower and tactical usage to a unit equipped with Infantry Fighting vehicles.
“The Type-X provides means to breach enemy defensive positions with minimal risk to own troops. If an RCV is lost, its replacement will become purely a logistical nuance, however, lives will have been saved,” said Kuldar Väärsi, CEO of Milrem Robotics.
Milrem Robotics’ RCV will be equipped with intelligent functions such as follow-me, waypoint navigation and obstacle detection. Artificial Intelligence will also be part of the algorithms. However, the true innovation will be Milrem’s totally new and innovative approach to allow remote-controlled operations at higher speeds.
The vehicle’s maximum speed is 80 km/h on paved roads and 50 km/h off-road. The low weight of 12 tons of the Type-X and high power with efficient power management provide a superior terrain capability and its low height of 2.2 m and a rear engine provide low visual and heat signature.
To create the Type-X Milrem Robotics utilized its knowledge gained from developing its THeMIS Unmanned Ground Vehicle, intended to support dismounted troops, that has been acquired by ten countries, including seven NATO members: France, Norway, the UK, Germany, Estonia, and the US.
Milrem Robotics is the European leading robotics and autonomous systems developer and the leader of iMUGS – a 32,6 MEUR project funded from the European Commission’s European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) to develop a European standardized unmanned ground system.
The vehicle will be on display at John Cockerill’s stand no B18 in hall 12.

Should We Give Robots Paintball Guns?
MSCHF’s plans to let consumers control Spot and a paintball gun (aka ‘Spot’s Rampage’) could be an inflection point

I’m not afraid of robots, not at least in the same way I fear humankind and its potential for administering pain and suffering. Even so, I understand the concern surrounding MSCHF’s latest bit of mischief: putting a paintball gun on the back of one of Boston Dynamic’s Spot quadruped robots.
I track Spot updates closely, and yet I missed this one. It wasn’t until I saw a Twitter post from my former PCMag colleague and current TechCrunch hardware editor Brian Heater that I learned about MSCHF’s audacious plan: attach a paintball gun to the back of Spot and let online viewers remote-control its path and shooting activity through a Brooklyn-based faux art gallery. Heater’s article has a lot more details about the event and some insight on what it’s like to pilot Spot.
A paintball gun is marginally a weapon, but it’s now clear to me and Heater that MSCHF’s aim is to “weaponize” Spot and make some sort of statement about the dangers of semi-autonomous robots and their use in war and, maybe, law enforcement. Plus, calling the event “Spot’s Rampage” puts too fine a point on their intentions.
Last week, Boston Dynamics made it clear in a Twitter post that the company isn’t happy with MSCHF’s plans and that they may run afoul of its terms of sale. Heater told me during a Clubhouse chat that Boston Dynamics speaks to potential customers about the acceptable use of its $74,500 robots. Also, if customers choose to misuse the robots, the company can, Heater told me, stop servicing them or, possibly, brick the Spot through an over-the-air software update.
