| Polaris
The Polaris robot was a cross country, all terrain vehicle. Because
it was operated via a Windows PC and a joystick, it was possible
for the robot pilot to control it even if it was out of direct sight.
Polaris 1.6
The Polaris 1.6 was based on the original Polaris
robot, but was rescaled by a factor of 1.6. A corresponding increase
in stability was achieved with a new drive chain made of hard plastic
and metal links.
Foxbot 1.0
The major advantages a wheeled vehicle has over
a tracked one represented the impetus for Roboterwerk’s development
of a six-wheeled robot with all-wheel drive weighing around 30 kg.
