CTU Scientists Are Developing a Tactical Robot – this was the title of a segment on the main Czech Television news program Události on April 28th.
Researchers from the department of Cybernetics /VRAS group/ are developing a tactical robot named Helhest, inspired by a legendary three-legged horse from Danish mythology. This robot is designed to assist in diverse situations—from helping seniors with shopping to supporting the military in rough or dangerous terrain.
The team aims to bring the robot to market internationally, with support from the university’s tech transfer department. Despite strong competition, they believe Helhest has potential in civilian and military applications.
