OzBot

OzBot is a ruggedised mobile platform designed for

domestic law enforcement and defence applications

• Provides first-responder capability for tactical

reconnaissance or mission critical tasks

• Suitable for both urban and unstructured terrain including

missions that require a stair climbing capability

OzBot

OzBot - Tele-op controller

• All functions of the remote platform are accessed using the portable hand-held controller

OzBot - Tele-op controller

Features: includes dual simultaneous

video streams, full duplex bi-directional audio, illumination settings and control interfaces for attached auxiliary devices

OzBot – Basic Motion

OzBot - Applications

• Can be deployed for under-vehicle and site inspection at major events or stand-off detection and evaluation of hazardous substances using auxiliary sensing equipment.

• Infrared cameras can easily be added to perform remote thermal analysis

• Analysis of an individual or vehicle. Two systems can be deployed with X-ray equipment capable of scanning a suspect package.
