Defense & Security Thailand 2019: Aunav exhibits its lifting robot.

Leading technology in the field of First-Response to military conventional munitions (EOD), Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Chemical (CBRN) threats as well. This year, Aunav exhibits its new lifting robot during Defense & Security Thailand 2019.

The robot aunav.NEXT has been designed and developed in collaboration with EOD units and represents the next step in the evolution of EOD / IED / CBRN robots being the only robot in the world with the Common Criteria EAL2 + security certification.

It effectively combines strength and dexterity in the movements of its two arms. Its powerful control unit also provides operator assistance functions and provides the robot with semi-autonomous capabilities, being adaptable to multiple scenarios, and greatly minimizing the time and risks associated with operations.

The aunav.NEXT is possibly the most technologically advanced robot capable of lifting 250 kg, with 2 synchronized arms and proved in real operations. Its considerable lifting capability combined with high precision allows the EOD team to respond efficiently to scenarios where Conventional Explosive Ordnance, IED (VBIED Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device) are present or threats including CBRN substances.

It has two with two synchronized arms: one hydraulic with a lifting capability of 250 kg and a second optional electric arm. It is equipped with navigation autonomous systems permitting to move autonomously to the incident point, and return to the last point where control was effective in case the command link was lost.

Two Control Units are available, depending on the operational needs. One is based on a Tablet PC, and the other, with a dual touch screen, in a ruggedized suitcase.

Both allow operating the robot from a standoff position between 700m and 3Km depending on the ground characteristics. It is possible to see, in real-time, up to 8 cameras simultaneously, together with a 3D drawing displaying the positioning of arms and joints.

Their mission is to contribute to every Aerospace, Defense and Security by the design, development, production, and delivery of robotic solutions with their own technology adapted to the specific Security and Defence needs of their national and international clients.
