Figure 12: TechnoRobot RiotBot with remote control<br />
TechnoRobot specialises in the design <strong>and</strong> manufacture of robots intended for the security <strong>and</strong> defence<br />
sectors. After two years of development, TechnoRobot has launched RiotBot (TechnoRobot – Rapidly<br />
Deployable Remotely Operated Less-Lethal Support Robos), a robotic platform requested for years by<br />
different international agencies involved in high-risk operations for its security <strong>and</strong> defence. To design the<br />
RiotBot, a strong R&D team was formed within the enterprise by more than 20 technicians working closely<br />
alongside various special operations tactical experts.<br />
RiotBot was designed to intervene in high-risk missions to remove the threat to human team members. The<br />
principle objective is to minimise injury within both the intervention group <strong>and</strong> the opposing force. To that<br />
end, the RiotBot is equipped with a nonlethal weapon. It is also equipped with a laser site for greater weapon<br />
acuracy <strong>and</strong> a powerful flashlight for nighttime operations. RiotBot is equipped with six-wheel-drive<br />
capabilities, <strong>and</strong> can reach speeds exceeding 20km/h. A light-weight portable control unit allows the RiotBot<br />
operator to view images captured by the robot's camera in real time from over a kilometer away.<br />

510 PackBot (GROUND ROBOTS – 510 PACKBOT®) produced by iRobot is a tactical mobile robot that<br />
performs multiple missions while keeping warfighters <strong>and</strong> first responders out of harms way. Through its<br />
modularity, adaptability <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>ability it can be used in various scenarios like bomb disposal, surveillance<br />
/ reconnaissance <strong>and</strong> hazardous material detection. 510 PackBot easily climbs stairs, rolls over rubble <strong>and</strong><br />
navigates narrow passages with sure-footed efficiency, traveling at speeds of up to 9 km/h.<br />
510 PackBot relays real-time video, audio <strong>and</strong> other sensor readings while the operator stays at a safe st<strong>and</strong>off<br />
distance. The operator can view a 2-D or 3-D image of the robot on the control unit, allowing for precise<br />
positioning. PackBot also features a game-style h<strong>and</strong> controller for faster training <strong>and</strong> easier operation in the<br />
