How It Works

Packbot

-

The Packbot is one of the military’s smaller robots, used to neutralise landmines and other explosive devices. Being small in size, it is compact, easy to transport and has the additional benefit of being quick to deploy.

This robot has been engineered to withstand rough treatment, which certainly comes in handy on a battlefiel­d. Testing shows it is able to fall 1.8 metres onto concrete and continue working. After such an accident the Packbot can use its treaded flippers to turn itself back into an upright position. This appendage is ideal for any rough environmen­t and for conquering obstacles.
