Surveillance Robot

WCSAR has developed a miniature, state-of-the-art walking and climbing surveillance robot. Because of its light weight, small size, low noise, high mobility and high trafficability, this robot is ideal for anti-terrorist and intelligence gathering applications (e.g. in hijacking, bank robbery and hostage rescue situations), pipe inspection (gas pipes, nuclear power plant pipes, etc.), and in-situ inspection of other inaccessible areas. The robot can be powered by a built-in rechargeable battery or by an external power source. The robot is capable of walking forward and backward, rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise, surmounting obstacles, and climbing up and down relatively smooth surfaces with irregular geometry (such as an airplane fuselage, building windows, a building's metal frame, etc.). The robot has two built-in miniature cameras capable of transmitting images via wireless or wired communication channels. The robot can operate autonomously or by remote control.
