A technical vision system and elements of artificial intelligence (AI) have been implemented in the combat robot. If communication with the operator is lost, the Impulse-M will independently return to base.

During the tests, the robot demonstrated movement over rough terrain, overcoming fords and trenches. The Impulse-M also lifted a load up a hill and crossed a ford with it.
