PackBot
The Multi-Mission Tactical Mobile Robot
- Mobile
- PackBot easily climbs stairs, rolls over rubble and navigates narrow, twisting passages. The robot’s patented mobility platform features dual QuickFlip™ track articulations. These “flippers” are capable of continuous 360-degree rotation and enable PackBot to traverse rocks, mud, snow, gravel and other tough terrain. PackBot’s flexible ToughTrac™ polymer tracks eject debris and move the robot over all surfaces with sure-footed efficiency. PackBot even climbs grades up to 60 degrees. PackBot 510 is 30 percent faster, capable of traveling at speeds of up to 5.8 miles per hour (9.3 km/h).
- Dependable
- PackBot’s shock-resistant chassis can survive shocks of up to 400 Gs. This tough robot can withstand a six-foot drop (1.8 m) onto concrete, being thrown through a window, tumbling down stairs and being deployed from a low-altitude helicopter. PackBot is fully sealed, with no exposed wires, making the robot operational in all weather conditions. PackBot can also withstand submersion in 6 feet (1.8 m) of water.
- Flexible
- PackBot offers multi-mission flexibility and customization options on a proven chassis. State-of-the-art electronics enhance payload integration capabilities. Each of the eight payload ports is equipped with Ethernet, USB, power and two video channels. As a result, there is no limit to the types of payloads the robot can support. Interchangeable, modular payloads enable the robot to perform a wide variety of missions.
- Portable
- 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. Once deployed, the robot can quickly penetrate collapsed buildings, sewers, tunnels, airplane aisles, railroad cars and other areas that are inaccessible or dangerous.
- Easy to Use
- PackBot is simple to learn and easy to use. The robot 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. The control unit is battery-powered and can also be used with a supplementary power supply. PackBot 510 also features a game-style hand controller for faster training and easier operation in the field.
