Dragon Runner Series Overview
The Dragon Runner series of field transformable robots can be reconfigured by the operator in the field to allow for the use of various tracks or wheels manipulators and sensors.
Here’s an example of how it works:
Do you need to perform an under-vehicle inspection? Pop on the wheels, drive the robot under the vehicle, and start inspecting. Need the robot to enter a multi-story building? Pop off the wheels, attach the stair-climbing flippers and treads, clip the arm onto the top, drive the robot up the stairs, use the gripper to open the door, and enter the building. Do you need a larger or smaller version – various sizes now exist – DR15, DR20, DR30 and DR50 (Due Spring 2009). Just click on the size class of interest from the list on the left.
