NUMO Robotics

NUMO Robotics, headed by Nazar Pryimak and based in Lviv, is a Ukrainian company that designs and manufactures modular unmanned ground vehicles. It was previously known as Tank Bureau and rebranded under the NUMO name, keeping the same focus on tracked battlefield robots.

Its core platform is the NUMO, a tracked electric vehicle that carries up to about 300 kilograms and deploys in under ten minutes. It is built around interchangeable modules and as many as six communications systems, including Wi-Fi, LTE, and Starlink, so the same chassis can serve as a logistics mule, an engineering tool, or — in the armed Droid TW configuration — a remotely operated strike platform mounting a 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm machine gun. The 12.7 mm version was developed jointly with fellow ground-robot maker DevDroid and is reported to be in use across dozens of Ukrainian brigades. The company also produces the MAUL, a fast casualty-evacuation vehicle on a quad-bike chassis capable of roughly 73 km/h and 150 kilometres on a tank of fuel, originally designed by a Ukrainian medical battalion and licensed to NUMO for serial production.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence codified the NUMO vehicle for the Defence Forces in October 2025, the step that lets units procure it directly, and the company says it has built more than 600 platforms and plans to roughly double output in 2026. NUMO operates production and service facilities in Lviv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. The firm has not disclosed founding details or financials, and some of its early history under the Tank Bureau name remains unclear.
