FORBOT: Outdoor robot platform for research and science

FORBOT is a versatile robot platform for development and use as the user sees fit. In scientific research and military projects (robotics/reconnaissance) the innovative everyday robot is used as a platform and equipment mover.

FORschungs RoBOTer Plattform [Research Robot Platform] = FORBOT. It was developed for special demanding use in difficult open and urban terrain. FORBOT is sturdy and powerful, and it can travel cross country. It is suited for user-specific solutions and for user-developed research and development in the robotics field.
Weighing about 20 kg empty, 60 cm in length, 50 cm in breadth and with height ranging upwards of 20 cm, it can be equipped with up to 30 kg of additional gear. The six-wheel drive with three wheels working simultaneously on each side is highly effective and is designed robustly. The traction and agility are similar to those of a tracked vehicle, but it goes faster and is more efficient, like a wheeled vehicle.
Roboterwerk offers geared engines with speed control and two different panning heads with camera housings as modules. Special modules, such as guidance computers, power supplies, communications units and sensors, can be installed for specific users.
Roboterwerk and its team of engineers and advisors will help you select and integrate components not delivered as standard.
