unmanned ground vehicle (UGV)
robots from iRobot
August 27, 2015
BEDFORD, Mass., 27 Aug. 2015.
Mass., have received a $4 million order from the U.S. Navy for the
company's model 110 FirstLook robots and accessories, company
officials announced last week.
The rugged iRobot 110 FirstLook is a five-pound, compact and
expandable robot that provides situational awareness, performs
persistent observation, and investigates and manipulates dangerous
and hazardous materials while keeping the operator out of harm's way.
FirstLook can integrate third-party sensors for handling hazardous
materials, chemical-biological-nuclear materials, and to accommodate
thermal imagers, iRobot officials say.
Users also can fit the small robot with the company's Small
Lightweight Manipulator to interact with the environment.
"FirstLook is light enough and rugged enough to be thrown through a
window or down a flight of stairs, and its capabilities are expandable
with the addition of different payloads. We believe FirstLook is the most
capable robot in its weight class," says Tom Frost, senior vice president
and general manager of iRobot's Defense & Security business unit.
The iRobot company has delivered more than 5,000 of its defense
and security robots to military and civil defense forces worldwide,
company officials say. For more information contact iRobot
