DESCRIPTION

Throwbot 2 is a Military from ReconRobotics. It is built for Reconnaissance, Security, Monitoring. Key figures: 0.6 kg, 110 min runtime.

Throwbot 2 is ReconRobotics' throwable micro-robot for tactical reconnaissance. Police, military, bomb squad and rescue teams throw it up to 36 m into a building or hazardous area, and it survives repeated 9 m drops onto concrete. An operator then drives it through the structure with the OCU II hand controller while it streams live colour video and one-way audio, to locate and identify people, confirm the presence of hostages and reveal room layouts. It sends video and audio up to 45 m through walls or 137 m outdoors in line of sight, and automatic infrared illumination lights up to 7.6 m for night work. The two-wheeled robot weighs 0.6 kg, measures 21 x 20 x 11 cm and drives at 0.6 m/s over obstacles up to 5 cm. It is IP66/IP67 water and dust resistant and runs about 110 minutes, or 160 minutes in observation mode. It can be set to different frequencies so several robots operate in the same area. Conversion kits turn it into a Rugged XL version for rough terrain and 10 cm obstacles, or a Carry and Tow version that is quieter than 59 dBA and carries or tows up to 1.8 kg via a Picatinny rail. Mounted on a SearchStick pole, it can serve as a pole camera for attics and crawl spaces.
