Product description
Teledyne FLIRPACKBOT® 525 Manipulation VehicleThePackBot® 525 is the latest evolution of its field-proven predecessor and features state-of-the-art HD cameras, improved lighting, optional in-situ charging (charging the batteries while they are installed), and other upgrades. The addition of a laser rangefinder, improved accessory mounts, and additional mounting points for extra accessories make this vehicle highly capable and enable the user to conduct bomb disposal, surveillance, and reconnaissance operations from a safe distance.
The PackBot® 525 is ready to use in less than 2 minutes, can be carried by one person and its deployment can be quickly realized from any platform. The robot lifts up to 20 kg (close-in) and can be easily stored in the trunk of a car.
Robust and versatile
ThePackBot® manipulation vehicle is equipped with a robust chassis. This gives it a high degree of maneuverability on virtually any surface. Thanks to its flipper system, it can easily navigate stairs and other obstacles.

Product benefits
Cameras, lighting, laser rangefinder
HD cameras and improved lighting provide a clearer image in all environments. The new laser rangefinder displays the distance to the target.
Optional in-situ charging
Keep the batteries fully charged and monitor the charge level while the batteries remain in the robot.
Accessory port extensions
Improvements to the digital architecture make integration and placement of sensors and payloads easier than ever.
Possible usage
This PackBot® manipulator is equipped with a robust chassis that gives it high maneuverability on almost any surface. Likewise, it can overcome stairs and other obstacles thanks to its pinball system. Users also appreciate its innovative manipulator system: the head, gripper and shoulder can be comprehensively rotated or tilted. With the intuitive, robust tablet control, the operator can choose from the full range of networked robots. Thanks to the MPU5 radio powered by Wave Relay® MANET, robots can penetrate deeper into complex structures and be more mobile than ever before.


Operating unit
The control unit of the PackBot® 525 is a touchscreen-based tablet controller (uPoint Multi-Robot Controller) with MPU5 radio/data solution. It allows direct access to the vehicle, its data (sensor values, etc.) and maps to locate the GPS position.

MPU5 WAVE RELAY® MANET
It can also switch between multiple robotic systems (FirstLook®, KobraTM and PackBot®) and generate video for evidence collection. The MPU5 allows independent networking with other MPU5 devices that have the same configuration.

Accessories
Another strength of the UGV is its high modularity. Its platform allows the integration of different accessories, which can be selected and quickly mounted according to the application. The following accessories are currently available:
X-ray system with mounting accessories
- Flat-panel systems (manufacturer: Logos Imaging):
Mounted on the gripper using an X-ray panel holder - X-ray generators (Manufacturer: Golden Engineering):
