London, United Kingdom, February 07, 2021 --(PR.com)-- Emerging technologies in land robotics are making vast transformations to the future of land warfare. Therefore, there has never been a better time to explore the challenges and opportunities of these developments � and determine how it needs to be adapted for use by the Armed Forces.

One such development has been the development of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and the idea of one day, placing the soldier out of harm's way. These vehicles are being used for logistics and support by several international militaries and will one day become a key tool for conducting warfare. *
