PackBot 510

Unmanned Ground System – UGS

Man-Transportable, Multi-Mission Robot

PackBot 510 is a man-transportable robot that performs bomb disposal, surveillance and reconnaissance, CBRN detection and HazMat handling operations. PackBot 510 easily climbs stairs and navigates narrow passages, relaying real-time video, audio and sensor data while the operator stays at a safer, standoff distance. The PackBot 510 manipulator lifts up to 44 lb (20 kg). PackBot 510 is deployable by one person in under two minutes. The robot stows neatly in vehicle, even fitting in a car’s trunk.
