DESCRIPTION
The Autonomous Disaster Search & Recovery System
(ADSRS) is one of the most advanced payload/Forager
configurations within the product line. This unit has a
multi-function role in the disaster relief arena or clean
up operations.
The ADSRM (Autonomous Disaster Search & Recovery
Module) 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.
.
MAIN ARMs:
There are 2 main arms each 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. Each wrist contains a camera system for
alignment.
SENSOR ARMs:
This system is the heart of the overall payload. Each
arm has one of multiple available pods on the end.
They are used to locate trapped victims, damage inspection or lethal chemical leaks. This keeps rescuers out of
harms way until the last possible second. The end-pods currently are camera, FLiR, sound microphone or
chemical/gas sensors. See Figure 1 for reach limits.
The ADSRM is self-contained with 480A/H of LiFePO batteries. Operator communications is done through the
Forager chassis which contains a high speed fiber optic interconnection to the ADSRM
This system can also work in conjunction with other systems and their “Vole-Bots” via a meshed network.
