New-gen Probot introduced
Roboteam has developed a new-generation version of its Professional Robot (Probot) UGV with upgraded communications and navigation capabilities, higher carrying capacity and enhanced maneuverability, the company announced on 21 March.
Probot is a tactical multipurpose platform designed for urban terrain and outdoor operations. The system can carry payloads of up to 750kg, climb stairs and manoeuver in confined spaces. It can work for 8 to 10 hours at a max range of 38km.
A new ruggedised rack on the new-generation version has increased Probot’s carrying capacity, while a new control unit (ROCU 1) allows short-distance navigation, and 5 day-and-night cameras provide 360⁰ coverage for non-line-of-sight piloting. Maneuverability has been improved with the addition of front and rear bumpers, front and rear tails to prevent overturning, and new wheels to enable mobility on difficult terrain.
A new antenna has been added to upgrade communications with a control range of up to 1.5km. The antenna features a peer-to-peer mobile ad hoc network (MANET), low latency command and control, secure high bandwidth data (up to 40 Mbps), data and video transfer, multiple video streams, a 2.3-2.5 GHz frequency range, and FIPS 140-2 security.
Yosi Wolf, CO-CEO, Roboteam, said: ‘The area of logistic robots holds great potential. These days, when soldiers are expected to carry more and more weight, the ideal solution is to simply move the load from the soldier to the robot by his side. The Probot system has been in use for several years by a number of customers with great success. We have worked together with our customers to make adjustments and upgrades to match Probot to their needs.’
