Small-sized portable remote-controlled robotic complex for reconnaissance and mine clearance
The latest compact reconnaissance and mine-clearing robot “Scorpion” will go into serial production this year. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the developer company JSC “SET-1”.
As previously reported, robot “Scorpion” is a further development of the light-class sapper robot “scarab”, used by Russian sappers in Syria. Prototype “Scorpion” was tested in the engineering troops, this was reported last summer. The company has now received its first order for several robots.
Development of a new remote-controlled robotic device for reconnaissance and mine clearance “Scorpion” is in the final stages, this year we are starting its serial production
– the company said.
The robot is a four-wheeled platform weighing up to 20 kilograms, compatible with various types of attachments. Replaceable batteries provide autonomy from 4 to 10 hours, allow you to work in conditions of low temperatures down to minus 30 degrees.
As stated by the developers, the control system is based on a single digital radio channel for control and data transmission of our own design. The radio channel has an algorithm, providing easy binding of the control panel to the robot and excluding control interception. Optional wired control available for radio silence or jamming conditions.
Recall, company “SET-1” is a developer and manufacturer of engineering robots “sphere” and “scarab”, used by Russian sappers during mine clearance in Syria.
