It took only 72 hours of fighting with heavy weapons to disrupt this critical service that had endured since the start of the Yemeni conflict in 2015. And Aden is only one example within Yemen. Between January and September 2019, the …
Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) RAS can be viewed as the application of software, artificial intelligence and advanced robotics to perform tasks as directed by humans.
