INSPECTOR FOR SPECIAL MISSIONS
The INSPECTOR robot can replace men in situations when human life or health is endangered.
In its class, the inspecting and neutralising (EOD/IEDD) INSPECTOR robot is distinguished by its great lifting capacity and the ability to travel in difficult terrain and to overcome its uneven surface and high obstacles.
Typical Usage:
Inspection, transportation and neutralisation of hazardous material.
Support for counterterrorist operations.
High-risk hazardous environments missions.
Building protection and supervision.
Cooperation with the EXPERT or other robot.
Basic Features of INSPECTOR Robot
Width of the mobile base enables to drive through standard doors (70 cm) and to move around the interiors of residential and office buildings.The robot is powered by batteries installed inside the mobile platform or through a cable plugged into the 230V power network.The maximum operation time when powered by batteries is 2 to 8 hours (depending on the operations).During the external power supply (by cable) the batteries are automatically recharged.
INSPECTOR is equipped with 4 cameras: on the gripper, in back and front of the robot and on the manipulator (the main camera which may be turned completely around by 360° and 90° up and down).Special driving system reduces recoil effect when firing the pyrotechnical disrupter or in case of explosion of the load placed in the gripping device or its vicinity.
The manipulator is equipped with:manipulator arms extreme position sensors,position sensors in main manipulator’s degrees of freedom,gripping force sensor,sockets for fixing of so-called ‘whiskers’ on the gripper’s master jaw (for visual estimation of distance), an omni directional microphone.
The operator’s post is equipped with three LCD monitors, which show, apart from the view from chosen camera, a graphic interpretation of the manipulator arm and front caterpillars configuration.Time of the operation when powered by batteries of the operator’s post together with the console is approximately 4 hours, and the portable console gives 3 hours additionally, what guarantees total 7 hours of the operation.
Robot can be controlled by radio or by cable.Control cable is light and mechanically resistant. Fluent velocity control of all the drives from 0 to maximum speed ensures high precision of operation. There is a possibility of the reduction of maximal velocity allowing precision of performed operations (after pushing an appropriate button, the maximum velocity reduces itself to 20%).Audio signal of emergency situations in the control console alerts operator in case of irregularity in robot’s function.Illuminated keyboard of the control console enable to control in the dark.
Unique Features of INSPECTOR Robot
The INSPECTOR can tow vehicles left in any gear of a mass of up to 1500 kg.Front caterpillars (remote control of tilt angle) increase traction abilities, longitudinal stability and enable smooth motion on stairs, as well as highly uneven terrain.The manipulator is able to lift 30 kg on extended arms and 60 kg on folded arms.
The turn of the manipulator’s base amounts as much as 400°. Constant spatial orientation of the object placed in the gripper, irrespective of the movement of other manipulator arms, enables precision manipulation of hazardous devices.Control system of the robot enables to control all of its drives at the same time.A program for automatic folding of the manipulator down to a transport position speeds up and makes easier preparing the robot for transport.

*Apparently they are made in Pakistan with help from some polish firm. Not bad for a starter
