The pair begin by discussing Chrionix’s new Project Simpson, an uncrewed ground vehicle designed to transport battlefield casualties to field hospitals, as well as the company’s recent co-operation with the US Marines.

The podcast then analyses how robotics has revolutionised the defence industry, and the role Chironix has played in optimising the productivity of civil sectors through automation.
