Emergency response ROV
ForthRemote Emergency Response Robot on 1.6-tonne JCB: tows sand-dispensing trailer, sprays affixative, has grapple and 700-bar cutter for spill containment.
Our team built a pioneering, remotely controlled Emergency Response Robot capable of withstanding hazardous environments on a 1.6 tonne JCB compact excavator platform and fitted with a specialist robotics system and wireless technology.
The robot is capable of towing a trailer with a fitted hopper that can disperse a bund of sand to contain any type of spillage, and it also has an affixative spraying system attached that is used to assist in the containment of a nuclear spillage.
Other features include a large grapple hook that will be
used to move any obstruction the robot may come across, as well as a specialist 700bar rescue tool to cut through any obstacles.
