Robopex weaves its way through the trees. In the woods surrounding the Satory camp, near Versailles, the operator guides the mule developed by the Gaci company.

It could carry military equipment too heavy for men, or even an injured person, and unload the unit it is accompanying. To cross a ravine and prevent the machine from overturning, the soldier seizes as a precaution a return rope which stabilizes it. The robot still needs the human hand. At the Battle-Lab Terre, in Satory, the army tests these technological tools all day long, which will be used in the operations of tomorrow. Robopex is just one example.
