Robotics Aid In UGV Design
Miniature unmanned ground vehicles reliably perform reconnaissance in the harshest environments, with the help of compact, high-torque servo motors. Imagine the scene: A trio of terrorists are holed up in a hotel room, holding a group of terrified staff hostage. Outside, the SWAT team gathers. One of the members pulls a pin from an object and tosses it onto the room’s balcony, where it rolls to the sliding glass door. Moments later, chaos erupts. Commandos burst into the room through a side door, surprising the terrorists and freeing their captives. No, the object on the balcony wasn’t a grenade, it was a miniature unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and the images it transmits have the power to save lives.
