iRobot 510 for Infantry


iRobot upgrades previous
generation PackBot robots –
including the PackBot EOD and
PackBot MK1 (MTRS) – with the
latest hardware and software
of the 510 PackBot.
The upgrade adds new features and
functionality to your robot, expands
the scope of missions it performs
and facilitates the fast integration of
payloads, accessories, sensors
and other tools.
Upgrade Highlights
Upgrade Your PackBot
Robot
PackBot is faster; the robot rolls over rock, mud, snow and other
tough terrain at speeds of up to 5.8 miles per hour. PackBot is
stronger; the robot’s manipulator arm lifts 10 pounds at full extension
and 30 pounds at a close-in position, enabling the robot to carry a
variety of objects. The continuous-rotation gripper includes adjustable
fingers and is tracked by forward-facing cameras that provide
close-up images and enable precision targeting and placement of
disruptors and other tools.
Operator Control Unit
PackBot is easier to use; the robot’s rugged, lightweight OCU features
an intuitive graphical user interface. Pre-set poses, available at the
touch of a button, enable fast positioning of the robot. The operator
always sees the operating environment and knows the position of the
robot, thanks to on-screen views of real-time video from multiple high
resolution cameras and 3-D graphics showing the robot’s orientation.
PackBot’s video game-style hand controller results in less training
time and faster operations in the field. The OCU accommodates a
variety of communications modules, including multiple radios and
fiber optics.
Software
PackBot is smarter; powered by iRobot Aware 2 robot intelligence
software, PackBot is a modular, mission-configurable robot. The
robot’s digital architecture accommodates a wide variety of
interchangeable plug-and-play payloads and facilitates the fast
and easy integration of third-party sensors, enabling a wide variety
of missions. The robot is quickly configured based on the needs
of the mission and the operator’s preferences.

 Manipulator 1.0 (510 3-Link Arm)
Robot Arms

Equipped with a 312x zoom camera with both white and IR

lights at the end of the manipulator arm, the robot can inspect
heights up to 90” (while using chassis flippers). Gripper has
lifting capacity of 10 pounds through the full range of motion
and 30 pounds with arm in compact position. Dexterous enough
to pick up very small objects and grip and turn doorknobs.
Adjustable turret camera provides wide-angle views in multiple
directions. Manipulator has 8 degrees of freedom: shoulder
pitch, shoulder rotation (continuous), elbow 1 pitch, elbow 2
pitch, gripper rotation (continuous), gripper open/close, head
pan (continuous) and head tilt. Head is equipped with the
QuickClamp Fireset with Accessory Connector that supports
multiple accessories. Includes binding posts for fireset support.
Part # 18051

Camera Arm (CAM)

312x zoom camera with white lights provides close-up video that
enables fast, precise and safe inspection at heights up to 48”
(while using chassis flippers). Camera arm extends 14.5” from
back of chassis with 3 degrees of freedom: shoulder pitch, head
pan (continuous) and head tilt. Camera automatically follows
gripper on manipulator to help with situational awareness while
manipulating objects. Head can be equipped with an accessory
port that supports multiple accessories. Optional fire set support.
Part # 19129

Small Arm Manipulator (SAM)

Designed for interrogation, inspection and manipulation,
manipulator has lifting capacity of 5 pounds through the full
range of motion and 15 pounds with arm in compact position.
Manipulator extends 34.5” from back of chassis and reaches a
height of 42” with a horizontal reach of 11” beyond robot (with
SAM elbow at 90 degrees, while using chassis flippers). The
manipulator reaches a maximum height of 62” with no horizontal
reach beyond robot (with SAM fully extended upward, while using
chassis flippers). This “in plane” 2-link arm has 4 degrees of
freedom: shoulder pitch, elbow pitch, gripper rotation
(continuous) and gripper open/close.
