The ASENDRO robot consists of a manoeuvrable platform and two mission-specific payload modules with a reconnaissance (SCOUT) or manipulator arm which can be exchanged easily. Due to its small size (40 x 60 cm) and its relatively high speed (up to 10 km/h) it is suited for missions indoors and outdoors. The reconnaissance robot explores - controlled from a safe distance - the field and makes it possible to evaluate the situation more precisely. Through the extendable reconnaissance arm and the continuously variable pan-and-tilt camera head mounted to it, the robot transmits thermal and video images as well as sounds via GPRS, UMTS or WLAN to the mission control centre. In this way it receives essential information to be able to intervene rapidly and to rescue people in danger.
As assistant for fire service or industrial plants ASENDRO can be equipped with detectors for chemical and nuclear substances. |
