Basic features of EXPERT robot
- Velocity of mobile platform (2 km/h) allows quick displacement in relatively, e.g. extensive safety zone around an aircraft.
- Fluent velocity control of all of the drives from 0 to maximum speed ensures high precision of operation. There is a possibility of the reduction of maximal velocity thus allowing precision of performed operations (after pushing an appropriate button, the maximum velocity reduces itself to 20%).
- Special manipulating driving system reduces recoil effect when firing the pyrotechnical disrupter or in case of explosion of the load placed in the gripping device or its vicinity.
- The manipulator is equipped with:
- manipulator arm extreme position sensors,
- position sensors in main manipulator's degrees of freedom,
- gripping force sensor,
- sockets for fixing of so-called 'whiskers' on the gripper's master jaw (for visual estimation of distance),
- an omni directional microphone.
- The length and wide spacing of the jaws of the gripping device have been selected so as to enable the gripping device to reach e.g. the interior of the locker for hand luggage in an aircraft and to get any suspicious load.
- During the external power supply (by cable) the batteries are automatically recharged.
- The robot is powered by batteries installed inside the mobile platform or through a cable plugged into the 230V power network.
- The working time of the batteries is between 4 and 8 hours (depending on the type of work performed).
- Foldable operator's post designed in form of a suitcase, resistant to mechanical damage.
- Operator's post is equipped with a color LCD screen showing pictures from cameras and an additional LCD screen showing a graphic interpretation of the current manipulator arm configuration and data from the robotÂ’s sensors.
- Control cable, used interchangeably with radio transmission, is light and resistant.
- The robot can cooperate with a variety of additional devices, both offered by PIAP and those pointed by a customer.
