- In October 2023, the U.S. Army initiated a key modernization program to integrate robotic systems with human-operated formations. Spearheaded by the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO), this effort aims to unify existing science and technology with operational programs to improve battlefield coordination. The initiative is expected to accelerate the adoption of human-machine teaming, strengthening mission efficiency and situational awareness across combat scenarios, thereby advancing the U.S. military robots market
- In July 2022, Teledyne FLIR Defense secured a USD 62.1 million contract from the U.S. Armed Services to supply 500 Centaur multi-mission ground robots. These robots are designed for tasks such as explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), surveillance, and hazardous material handling. The deployment of these systems enhances tactical support and troop safety, contributing to the growing demand for modular and versatile robotic platforms in the global military robots market
- In January 2022, China unveiled the world’s largest electrically powered quadruped robot, developed for military logistics and reconnaissance operations. Capable of carrying up to 352 pounds and reaching speeds of 10 kilometers per hour, this robot is engineered to traverse rough terrain while supporting supply chain efficiency. Its launch underscores China's focus on robotic autonomy and self-reliant defense technologies, signaling rapid advancements in the Asia-Pacific military robotics sector
