🇯🇵 A robotic arm designed to load vehicle-mounted guns drew attention at the ATLA Technical Symposium, held on 10–11 November 2026 at the Grand Hill Ichigaya in Tokyo. The demonstrator reproduces the ammunition racks and gun layout of the Type 16 Manoeuvre Combat Vehicle. The idea is for the arm to work in the space normally occupied by the human loader, without requiring a purpose-built autoloader. For now, it is slow and sometimes stalls while moving into position. Its grip also slipped when pulling rounds from the rack, and it dropped rounds during the demonstration. #info #industry #UGV #Japan
