Raposa
Designed to operate in environments hostile to the human presence, or otherwise not reachable, it can be used as a work platform for search and rescue operations and associated research.
This robot is fully adequate for the Robocup Rescue competition.
RAPOSA is a semi-autonomous tele-operated robot, with an onboard PC and live audio and video transmission capabilities.
The human operator has access to important data about the surrounding environment (terrain irregularities, temperature, explosive gases in the environment, humidity or heat sources from living persons or other sources).
The robot has small dimensions and weight. Its tolerant to impact, dust and humidity and its all terrain capable, namely it can climb stairs.
RAPOSA is useful in some of the following scenarios
- Search operations on hazardous environments.
- Inspection of buildings at risk of collapsing.
- Inspection of hardly accessible environments, like gas conduits.
- Vehicle Inspection
- Hostage rescue.
- Identification of unknown packages.
The robot specifications are herein presented, and they may be adapted to the specific needs of a given project:
- 3 conventional cameras
