510 PackBot easily climbs stairs, rolls over rubble and navigates narrow passages with sure-footed efficiency, traveling at speeds of up to 5.8 miles per hour.
510 PackBot has a shock-resistant chassis; the robot can withstand a 6-foot drop onto concrete, being thrown through a window, tumbling down stairs and being deployed from a low-altitude helicopter. PackBot is operational in all weather conditions and can withstand submersion in 6 feet of water.
Powered by iRobot® Aware® 2 robot intelligence software, 510 PackBot is a highly adaptable robot. PackBot’s modular digital architecture accommodates a wide variety of interchangeable payloads that enable a wide variety of missions. The robot can be reconfigured quickly, based on the needs of the mission and the operator’s preferences.
510 PackBot can be hand carried and deployed by one person in less than two minutes. No expensive, specialized equipment or vehicles are necessary; PackBot can be easily loaded into a MOLLE pack, the trunk of a car or a helicopter.
510 PackBot relays real-time video, audio and other sensor readings while the operator stays at a safe standoff distance. The operator can view a 2-D or 3-D image of the robot on the control unit, allowing for precise positioning. PackBot also features a game-style hand controller for faster training and easier operation in the field.
