Robotican: Robots built for the front lines, and below them

Robotican, a Israeli robotics company based in the Negev, specializes in developing autonomous systems for military, police, and rescue operations in hazardous environments. Founded in 2013 by CEO Hagai Balshai, the company addresses challenges like navigating GPS-denied areas, tunnels, and other unstable spaces where conventional drones fail. Balshai, a former IDF search and rescue officer, highlights the need for reliable technology to counter threats such as Hamas' fire balloons and kites. Robotican's flagship product, the Rooster hybrid drone, operates both on land and in the air, equipped with sensors for mapping and reconnaissance. The system enables troops to conduct missions safely in dangerous or inaccessible locations.
