ARX Robotics introduced a remote-controlled military truck by converting the Zetros platform into a software-defined ground system capable of teleoperation and optional autonomy.
The initiative uses certified drive-by-wire technology, allowing the driver to be removed from the cab and transfer control to operators in a safe location, a direct response to the increasing risks faced by logistics teams in modern combat scenarios.

The project was developed based on the integration of ARX Core with the operating system Mithrawhich made it possible to quickly transform an already consolidated commercial vehicle into a fully connected vehicle. According to the company, the conversion took just a few weeks and required profound structural changes, highlighting the advantages of software-based modernization compared to traditional vehicle redesign programs.
Carried out in partnership with Daimler Truck AGthe demonstration indicates that widely used platforms can be quickly adapted for military and security missions.
Focused on logistics and support in contested areas, the solution maintains human control with limited autonomy, seeking to balance operational efficiency, security and legal compliance, while reducing the direct exposure of operators to threats.
