Zen Technologies, along with its subsidiary AI Turing Technologies, has introduced advanced defense solutions, including Prahasta, an AI-driven quadruped robot for real-time 3D mapping. Other innovations include Hawkeye, an anti-drone camera, and Barbarik-URCWS, the world’s lightest remote weapon station.

Zen Technologies, a provider of anti-drone technology and defense training solutions, in collaboration with its subsidiary AI Turing Technologies, introduced AI-powered robot Prahasta on Monday, along with other products for the global defense market. Prahasta is an automated quadruped that utilizes LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and reinforcement learning to perform real-time 3D terrain mapping, offering unparalleled capabilities in mission planning, navigation, and threat assessment.

“These innovations represent a significant advancement in autonomous defense operations. We believe the launch of these products will highlight the importance of integrating advanced robotics into combat and reconnaissance missions.”

Our self-funded products will enable Zen to provide an expanded range of cutting-edge technologies to both current and prospective clients,” stated Zen Technologies’ Chairman and Managing Director, Ashok Atluri.

The Hyderabad-based firm asserts that Barbarik-URCWS is the world’s lightest remote-controlled weapon station, offering precise targeting capabilities (5.56 mm to 7.62 mm calibers) for ground vehicles and naval vessels, enhancing battlefield effectiveness while minimizing personnel risk.
