We have been nominated for the DOU Award
Our Ratel project has made the list of nominees for the DOU 2026 Award. Community voting runs from January 5 to 25, 2026 — during this period all categories and nominees will be available on the award website.
What this award is
The DOU Award is an annual recognition from DOU for projects, initiatives, and people who have a notable impact on the Ukrainian IT community and the development of technology. In 2026 the award covers 12 categories.
Winners are determined by voting:
- at the community stage a shortlist is formed;
- then the shortlist is evaluated by experts (the mechanics depend on the category).
Community voting rules: a DOU account is required; each user votes once; three votes are available in each category.
Why it is worth voting for us
Ratel is Ukrainian ground robotics for tasks that require endurance, repeatability, and minimizing risk to people.
What exactly you support with your vote:
- Practical solutions for the front and critical conditions. The lineup includes systems for logistics and evacuation, namely Ratel H, Ratel M, Ratel X, Nurse TB.
- Real technical specifications, not concepts. For some solutions, payload figures have been published (for example, 400 kg for Ratel H; over 200 kg for Ratel M).
- Advancing the field of Ukrainian ground robotic systems.
