Queensland Police Force has deployed five new Remote Positioning Vehicles-Medium, or 'bomb robots,' to improve explosive ordnance response.
The robot can lift 80 lbs and features a 360° rotating claw with a 10″ gripper, a 78″ vertical reach, 50″ horizontal reach, and integrated LIDAR .Security forces across the globe are acquiring advanced smart robots to help them with surveillance and bomb or hazardous material disposal activities.
“They keep our people safe by enabling remote inspections via video or X-ray, providing manipulator arms, and rendering safe tools to handle hazardous items,” said Tony Montgomery-Clarke, Acting Superintendent in QPS, in aQPS selected a Canada-based firm, ICOR Technology’s Caliber Flex bomb robot, after an extensive and competitive tender and evaluation process with five different robots.
The robot is controlled by a Command Control Unit and has a 3D avatar that gives positional feedback in real-time. A variable-speed joystick, high-quality mesh COFDM IP Radio System, and multifunction controls are also included. The latter enables data streaming. “These robots enhance Queensland’s Bomb Response capabilities, allowing us to remotely approach, investigate, and neutralize real and suspected IEDs, as well as Chemical, Biological, or Radiological devices,” said Montgomery-Clarke.
