Sera Ingénierie, a startup run by a veteran, has received the robotics prize at the yearly SOFINS (Special Operations Forces Innovation Network Seminar) in Bordeaux, France, for its Robbox mule. The goal of Robbox was to make life easier for special forces, but it had to be a solution, not just another item to worry about. The Robbox vehicle resembles a 1,500-pound four-wheel-drive jeep with no canopy. It measures around 5 feet wide by 11 feet long and has a carrying capacity of 1,100 pounds of mission modules. The flat platform can also be mounted with a stretcher to quickly transport an injured soldier, similar to a robot being tested by the US Marines.
