Mobile Robots

Rescuer

Rescuer is extremely solid and very appropriate for applications that require outdoor/indoor, hazardous or difficult to access environments. The robot is supplied with an embedded PC controller and open architecture software. It’s an ideal machine for those users that wish to implement their own software.

The system offers connectivity with robotic hands, grippers, several laser scanner models, cameras and Robotnik’s modular arms. It also allows the immediate integration of any standard device with available Linux drivers.

The mobile robot Rescuer is useful for many civil applications, as well as for scientific investigations and safety. Some examples of our customers include civil protection agencies and Universities.

Guardian

Guardian is a modular robot with high mobility. The platform extends the range of missions in which the robotic technology is used in several ways:

• » Teleoperation capabilities allow to remotely performing any mission thus enhancing the security of the operator.
• » The robot is small enough to be transported in a conventional car boot and light enough to introduce it in a lift.

Applications

Scientific:

• » Indoor/Outdoor navigation.
• » Localization.
• » Control software architectures.
• » Swarming.

Security:

• » Surveillance.
• » Remote measuring.

Explosive disposal:

• » Search and disposal of improvised explosive devices (IEDD).
• » Search and disposal of military explosive ordinance (EOD).

Summit

The Summit is a medium-sized robot that offers high mobility and low cost. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and can easily overcome obstacles such as curbs and steps. The mechanical system is equivalent to a 4x4 remote control car and uses a high quality aluminum chassis. The robot base can navigate autonomously or teleoperated by means of a PTZ camera that transmits video in real time. The control architecture is open-source and modular, based on ROS or Player/Stage.

Applications

• » Research and education
• » Surveillance
• » Military
• » Remote monitoring
• » Access to hazardous areas

Summit XL

Summit XL has skid-steering kinematics based on 4 high power motor wheels. Each wheel integrates a hub brushless motor with gearbox and encoder. They can also be mounted at several positions to modify the robot clearance. The robot base can navigate autonomously or teleoperated by means of a PTZ camera / that transmits video in real time. The control architecture is open-source and modular, based on ROS or Player/Stage.

Applications

• » Research and education
• » Surveillance
• » Military
• » Remote monitoring
• » Access to hazardous areas
