1/ From a coffee break in Copenhagen they just steered a killer robot in war-zone Ukraine.
An incredible new tech enables real-time, zero-lag control, even from 2,000km away.
War from home is the new work from home. 🧵⤵️

2/ At DALO EXPO 2025—Denmark's premier defense exhibition, held in August—visitors witnessed something both encouraging and chilling, as reported by @DefenderMediaUA.
With a simple interface controller they could operate an actual combat robot deep in Ukraine, in real-time. ⤵️

3/ The company behind this breakthrough?
Ark Robotics.
They have a damn cool motto: "Collaborative autonomy for democracies."
🇪🇪🇺🇦 A Ukrainian-Estonian startup founded just one year ago, they've already armed 20 combat brigades with their tech. ⤵️

4/ Their secret weapon: The Frontier System.
It's an AI-powered platform for managing robotic fleets with minimal human input from afar.
Air, land, and sea. All controlled by operators who are nowhere near the danger zone.
Works with ANY manufacturer's drones. ⤵️

5/ Here's what makes this terrifying, if you're the enemy:
⦿ Encrypted real-time video
⦿ Unified interface for commanders
⦿ AI-powered fleet management
⦿ Operators stay alive (many countries away)⤵️

6/ Still a prototype? Yes. Already battle-tested? Also yes.
When your "beta test" is an active war-zone and you're already trusted by 20 brigades, you know you've built something extraordinary.
This is a great value Ukraine can offer to the USA, by the way⤵️

7/ It's safe to say you can expect more of this:
Ukraine just launched K4 Startup Studio—$250,000 grants for AI defense startups.
