Hermes Robotics builds an autonomy retrofit kit that turns existing vehicles into low-speed autonomous platforms. The company first marketed the product for street-sweeping and other fleet retrofits, and later public posts and reporting show the same autonomy package being adapted for military breaching vehicles.
