Unveil World’s First Fully 3D-Printed Off-Road Logistics Robot Built from Recycled Materials
Following the successful debut of the DISCOVER 3D camper, Ukrainian innovator Lemki Robotix, in collaboration with German additive manufacturing leader iSCALE 3D and advanced engineering partner Zeykan Robotics, has unveiled the world’s first fully 3D-printed off-road logistics robot—constructed entirely from recycled materials—at a major international exhibition in Lyon.
Engineered for extreme off-road environments, the robot redefines sustainable field robotics. Its sealed body is printed using recycled polypropylene reinforced with fiberglass, while its airless, puncture-proof wheels are molded from recycled polyurethane. The lightweight carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon rims further enhance durability and performance.
🌀 Innovation on Wheels
A standout feature is the hollow, buoyant wheel system—designed not only to improve traction and terrain adaptability, but also to act as paddle wheels, enabling the robot to cross bodies of water without sacrificing mobility.
🔧 Autonomous Intelligence, Anywhere
Equipped with 360-degree cameras, LiDAR, and Starlink satellite connectivity, the robot can be operated manually or fully autonomously.
Its onboard neural network analyzes multi-sensor data to navigate intelligently—even in GPS-denied environments—making it highly reliable for remote or unpredictable terrain.
🌍 Built for Multi-Sector Impact
Thanks to its modular architecture and robust, weatherproof construction, the robot serves a wide range of sectors, including:
- Military logistics
- Search and rescue
- Precision agriculture
- Infrastructure inspection
- Remote delivery and hazardous environments
🏭 Scalable, Localized Production
The robot is part of a broader initiative to launch a global decentralized 3D-printing network. This system—developed jointly by Lemki Robotix, iSCALE 3D, and Zeykan Robotics—enables on-demand, localized manufacturing through a distributed network of large-format printers.
Our product boasts low CO2 emissions, utilizing recycled plastics as its primary material, showcasing its environmental sustainability and reducing its impact on the environment.
Together, Lemki Robotix, iSCALE 3D, and Zeykan Robotics are shaping the future of sustainable robotics—by combining AI, modular design, recycled materials, and large-scale 3D printing into one unified platform ready for global deployment.
🌐 Designed & Built in Ukraine – For the World
Born in the heart of Ukraine’s tech innovation scene, this robot showcases the power of resilient engineering under pressure. Leveraging local talent, wartime prototyping speed, and international collaboration, it stands as a symbol of Eastern European ingenuity with global scalability. By demonstrating that world-class robotics can emerge from conflict zones, Lemki Robotix and its partners send a clear message: technology knows no borders—and innovation thrives under adversity.
♻️ Sustainability Without Compromise
This platform proves that performance and sustainability are no longer at odds. From recycled input materials to energy-efficient autonomous navigation, every aspect of the robot is designed with the planet in mind. It is one of the first field-ready machines that aligns with circular economy principles, offering a blueprint for how the next generation of robotics can reduce environmental impact without sacrificing function or form.
