I designed a simple terrestrial drone large enough to carry a soldiers payload and large enough to carry the soldier themselves should there be an injury. Our engineering team created prototypes utilizing electric scooter parts and a custom application framework for ARM processors tailored to maximize the battery life of robotic systems and edge compute systems.
