|
|
ESI provides two series of mobile robots and platforms, along with related accessories:
- MR-Series: medium-to-large mobile platforms with long reach high precision arms; can move on wheels and/or with tracks
- LMA-Series: small-to-medium mobile platforms with variable configuration tracks for improved climbing and descent and mobility over uneven terrain (US and Canadian patents)
MR-Series and LMA-Series mobile robots cover a wide range of operational requirements related to remote handling, manipulation and neutralization of explosives, ordnance, biochemical, biological, and other hazardous items. The robots can be used for:
- Surveillance
- Reconnaissance
- Inspection and handling of hazardous items
- Manipulation of suspected packages
- Neutralization of such items as improvised explosive devices (IED's), hazardous chemicals, and radioactive materials.
The multi-purpose MR-Series and LMA-Series mobile robots are ideally suited for use by:
- Emergency response and SWAT (special weapons and tactical) teams
- Fire department personnel
- Hazardous goods response units
- Emergency measures units
- Research and development.
ESI mobile robots compare very favorably with commercially available mobile robots.
