KPI graduate Taras Ostapchuk: "The future of Ukrainian technology is being born here and now"

Today, unmanned systems perform a wide range of tasks: from reconnaissance and combat operations to rescuing the wounded and delivering provisions and ammunition. And we are not only talking about UAVs, but also ground-based robotic systems (GRS), which were created with the help of the hands, minds, and knowledge of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute students.
