AI in Unmanned Systems: Engineering Cases in Defense Tech and Skills for Industry Transition
About the Event
The two hottest areas in technology right now are AI and defense tech. In Ukraine, they are developing together, and the pace of this development has outstripped most perceptions of what modern defense engineering looks like.
Autonomous drones, guidance systems without manual data annotation, pilot robots, humanoid robots — these are no longer R&D projects on paper. They are products that Ukrainian teams are currently developing. And there is a critical shortage of people who know how to build them.
Yakiv Pidnebesnyi, CTO of TENCORE, builds exactly these kinds of systems — and at the webinar, he will break down specific engineering cases from the inside. How to train a system to intercept FPVs without manual annotations, how to create a cheap homing head, why a humanoid robot is needed on the front lines, and how LLMs are integrated into the architecture of a combat robot.
Separately, about people. The speaker will explain what knowledge strong software engineers most often lack when they transition into defense tech, and what is truly needed to build such systems.
If you are considering a career change into the industry or want to understand how modern defense engineering works from the inside and how AI is changing it — this is the webinar for you.
