The American technology company Future Industries is deploying prototype autonomous humanoid robots in Ukraine to assess their operational capabilities in a real military environment.

Future Industries (USA) has just conducted tests of its autonomous humanoid robots in a combat zone in Ukraine. This is a new step in the application of artificial intelligence and robotics technology to high-risk environments, replacing humans in dangerous tasks.

Unlike civilian robots, Future Industries focuses on developing versatile humanoid robots for heavy industry and military applications. These prototypes are designed to operate autonomously in harsh battlefield environments to assess their effectiveness in real-world conflict situations.

CEO Sankaet Pathak emphasized that robotics technology should focus on solving critical challenges facing humanity rather than simply providing household services. Notably, Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, currently serves as a strategic advisor to the company, aiming to promote high-tech manufacturing in the United States.

The Pentagon is considering increasing its weapons production capacity.

In addition to testing new technologies, Secretary Pete Hegseth said Washington is reviewing its entire process for producing key weapons. The US goal is to create a leap forward in the production of ammunition and military equipment to maintain the ability to supply Ukraine.

The Pentagon chief praised Ukraine's ability to use resources effectively and encouraged European allies to take on more responsibility. Currently, many European countries have significantly increased their financial and military aid to Kyiv to ensure its self-defense capabilities in the region.
