Units can send forward drones with microphones to gather intelligence on a position, a maker said. And speakers mean they can tell Russian soldiers to surrender or aid their own comrades. Ukraine's developers are equipping war robots with microphones and speakers to allow them to serve as mobile spies against Russia, to urge Russian soldiers to surrender, and to talk with their own comrades who need help. Ukraine is increasingly using uncrewed ground vehicles to launch attacks, transport equipment, pick up wounded troops, and lay mines, while operators control them remotely from protected positions farther from danger.
