The new configuration of the MTGR was specially developed for harsh field conditions. Designed for intelligence gathering (ISR), EOD missions, and public safety day-to-day activities, the MTGR is a 16-lb unmanned ground vehicle that is highly maneuverable and very light. Carried by an individual soldier, the MTGR climbs stairs, operates in rough terrain, transmits 360-degrees video in real time, uses a U.S. Military standard battery, and has a secured MANET Data Link.

Roboteam, founded in 2009, has created a range of robotic platforms with multiple payloads, designed for numerous operational missions: Intelligence and surveillance (ISR), handling explosives (EOD), border patrol missions, search & rescue, law enforcement, and HAZMAT handling.
