Teledyne FLIR FIRSTLOOK Throwable, Rugged Robot

The Teledyne FLIR FIRSTLOOK is a throwable, rugged and expandable robot that provides immediate situational awareness, performs persistent observation and investigates dangerous and hazardous material while maintaining a safer stand-off distance for operators. Quick to power-up, FIRSTLOOK can be deployed in a moment’s notice.  FIRSTLOOK allows operations where other robots can’t fit or maneuver. This rugged, lightweight robot can be inserted into structures and provides operators with visual, audio, and sensor feedback before entry. Maneuverable in a variety of environments, FIRSTLOOK climbs small obstacles, overcomes curbs, turns in place and self-rights when flipped over.

FIRSTLOOK is controllable from the uPoint® Multi-Robot Control system, featuring a touchscreen-based tablet controller that allows an operator to select from across the family of connected robots. FIRSTLOOK uses the MPU5 radio operating on the Wave Relay® MANET, to form a robust network in which robots, operators, and observers seamlessly operate together.
