Robotic engineering complex "Captain" passed the tests
According to the publication, the newest engineering robot "Captain" was created according to a modular scheme and, depending on the tasks to be performed, can use various equipment, which, thanks to a special docking station, is installed within a few minutes. Among the tasks that can be performed using this platform are mine clearance, visual reconnaissance, in the future it is planned to deploy electronic warfare equipment on it.
Robotic complex is a miniature wedge height of not more than 50 cm on a crawler track. The case contains control units and batteries. A special docking station allows you to place a hand manipulator or reconnaissance equipment on the body, including removable modules that allow you to conduct audio and visual reconnaissance of the terrain, including both in normal and infrared modes. Cameras can be additionally equipped with 40 multiple optical zoom.
The ability to "see" in any weather and in any light or without it, will allow the use of "Captain" in the survey of premises, basements, caves and various shelters.
To carry out demining work, a robotic arm is installed on the robor, which has five degrees of freedom. With this device, "Captain" is able to lift and move cargo up to 7 kg.
In standalone mode, the robot can move away from the remote control in an open area to a distance of one kilometer, and in urban areas it can reach 500 m. One battery charge lasts six hours of full-time work. The maximum speed of movement on the middle terrain - 5,5 km / h. The control is wireless, but there is a function to connect an optical fiber cable up to 200 meters in length.
