HELHEST

HELHEST develops an autonomous off-road unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), a three-wheeled robot, along with a differentiable digital twin used for machine learning, reinforcement learning and evaluation. The website describes hardware and software setups for dual-use applications.

The company is a spin-off of the Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT). Its current project aims to verify a hybrid UWB, Bluetooth and lidar-based follow-me system for safe human-robot cooperation, with field validation alongside professional rescuers. Press coverage in 2025 links the robot to rescue and military use; the website lists pricing and delivery on request.

The company is registered in Prague as HELHEST, s.r.o., founded on 9 April 2025, with its contact address at Karlovo náměstí, Praha 2. The website is published in English and Czech-language press coverage is linked from it.
