Robot to save avalanche accidents

GURGAON: Martyr Lance Naik Hanamanthappa lost his struggle with life after a miraculous survival for 6 days in an avalanche which resulted in death of 9 other armed forces personnel. Robotics is the future of surveillance and rescue operations. Gurgaon based Hi-Tech Robotics Private Ltd. has developed Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN)- Unmanned Ground Vehicle (CBRN) in collaboration with DRDO.
The Vehicle as also displayed at the defence pavilion of the 'Make in India' expo. The Hi-Tech Robotic Systemz has co-developed the CBRN with VRDE, Ahmadnagar (DRDO lab). This robot can be used for saving lives of defense personnel in Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear warfare and variants of this robot can be used for video surveillance, UXO handling & combat / anti-terrorist operations.
At high altitudes with harsh environments, the robot can do surveillance and can aid in rescue operations where landing is not possible. "Hi-tech has taken technology transfer for the Daksh they are manufacturing. They have added enormous value to the product and DRDO is very happy with the support they have received from Hi-tech Robotics. We are looking forward to more joint developments and more challenging task with Hitech Robotics," said S. Radhakrishnan, OS & Director - Industry Interface and Technology Management, DRDO said,
Other than the CBRN- Unmanned Ground Vehicle the other robot (which can assist in the case of such natural calamities and reduce the need for deployment in harsh terrain) at display is the award winning MOLE - Mobile Robot for ISR operations. It is a multi-terrain wireless surveillance robot, designed for personnel engaged in counter terrorism, law enforcement search and rescue amongst many other activities. It is a compact, highly rugged, highly maneuverable robot capable of rapid deployment.
