Autonomous Disaster Search & Recovery Module
“When you absolutely have to get it out”
The
Autonomous
Disaster
Search
&
Recovery
Module
(ADSRM)
is
one
of
the
most
advanced
payload
modules
for
a
Forager
configuration
within
the
product
line.
This
unit
has
a
multi-function
role
in
the
disaster
relief
arena
or
clean
up
operations.
The
ADSRM
is
best
suited
when
combined
with
Forager-x
(-W
or
-T).
This
Omni-
Chassis
was
chosen
for
the
autonomous
function
in
combination
with
the
ability
to
function as a remote control system.
ADSRM
utilizes
a
basic
2-arm
configuration.
Each
arm
has
a
capable
of
250
pound
lift.
The
arms
can
work
in
concert
or
independently.
Each
contains
an
end-effector
system
that
is
an
auto
quick
change
(Pat.
Pending)
which
allows
for
different
grabbers
and
cutters
to
be
swapped
by
the
computer
on-the-fly.
The
arms
themselves
are
6-DOF
(Degree-of-
Freedom),
5
rotational
axis
and
1
extendable
boom
arm.
The
wrist
contains
a
camera
system
for
tool
alignment
as
well
as monitoring.
The
module
is
also
equipped
with
2
boom
arms
extendable
to
15
feet.
The
boom
has
4-axis
pivot
points
coupled
with
one
of
multiple
available
pods
on
the
end.
This
section
is
used
to
locate
trapped
victims,
damage inspection or find lethal chemical leaks. This keeps rescuers out of harms way until the last possible second.
