Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._ ## Common questions ### What is ROOK? The ROOK is a 6x6 multi-payload unmanned ground vehicle co-developed by Roboteam and Elbit Systems. With a self-weight of 1,200kg and payload capacity of 1,200kg, it supports ISR, EOD, route clearance, logistics, and remotely operated weapon station missions. Features autonomous follow-me/go-to modes and hybrid battery-electric propulsion. ### How much does ROOK cost? ROOK's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for ROOK from Roboteam. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest. ### Is ROOK actually deployed in the real world? Yes. ROOK is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only. ### Who makes ROOK? ROOK is made by Roboteam, based in Petah Tikva, Israel, founded in 2009. ### Where is ROOK deployed? 15 verified deployments of ROOK are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Colombia, Thailand, Norway. ### Can you buy ROOK? ROOK is in commercial deployment and is sold to operators; contact the manufacturer to buy, and see the pricing section for any recorded price. ### What are alternatives to ROOK? On the DEPLOY registry, comparable defense_ugv robots to ROOK include THeMIS, TALON, MTGR, Mission Master SP. ### How does ROOK compare to THeMIS? ROOK and THeMIS (Milrem Robotics · 22 deployments) are both defense_ugv robots on the DEPLOY registry. ROOK has 15 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy. ### What is ROOK's maturity stage? ROOK is at the production stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Production stage means high-volume manufacture and commercial-scale deployments are sustained. ## Sources (1) 1. **Elbit Systems and Roboteam Introduce ROOK New Multi-payload 6X6 Unmanned Ground Vehicle** · https://www.elbitsystems.com/news/elbit-systems-and-roboteam-introduce-rook-new-multi-payload-6x6-unmanned-ground-vehicle ## The verified answers - [Which robots are deployed in the most cities](/which-robots-are-deployed-in-the-most-cities.md) - [Which types of robots are deployed the most](/which-types-of-robots-are-deployed-the-most.md) _API: GET /v1/models/1f7aab75-8c5e-42ad-95fc-4d9a459a6439 · canonical URL: /models/roboteam-rook_
