On October 8, 2025, Robotics Center took part in UxS RODEO ’25 in Ottawa, delivering a live demonstration that quite literally stretched across continents.

During the event, Robotics Center presented a number of Ukrainian companies whose robotic systems were remotely operated from Canada while physically deployed in Ukraine: UGVs, USVs and UAVs.

All platforms were controlled remotely from Canada and actively operated in Ukraine. This demonstration clearly showcased the ability to command robotic systems from headquarters, enabling operators to manage complex missions without being physically present in the area of deployment.

The event became a practical proof of concept for distributed operations: command in one country, execution in another. No simulations. No pre-recorded scenarios. Live systems. Live control. Real operational environment.

In addition, Robotics Center demonstrated its Shuriken FPV drone. In front of the audience, the drone was assembled on-site and subsequently tested in flight. From unboxing and assembly to live deployment demonstration, the entire process was presented step by step.

This allowed Robotics Center to highlight not only the technical advantages of Shuriken, but also its operational readiness. The system is not a prototype or a concept model. It is a real, deployable solution that can be used immediately for a wide range of defense and security operations.

UxS RODEO ’25 became a powerful demonstration of what modern robotic warfare looks like: remote, scalable, and operational today.
