The military robot of the IRobot company is developing a new specialty. Now the robot called Warrior, which is a lite version of the Python robot, uses the Mk7 APOBS (Anti-personnel Obstacle Breaching System). The robot will be able to effectively make passages in various anti-personnel obstacles: minefields and barbed wire obstacles. Moreover, the robot itself does not directly enter minefields, but works at a distance.

How does this happen? The soldiers remotely bring the robot closer to the field on which anti-personnel barriers are set. The robot then fires a rocket in the desired direction. Fragmentation grenades and a small parachute are attached to the rocket on a 45-meter cable. After firing, the rocket, having flown, falls to the ground, pulling a cable with grenades into a line. Grenades explode on the ground, detonating mines and barriers. The result is a clearly visible and safe path for infantry and vehicles.
