Mitsubishi Heavy Industries EX ROVR ASCENT
By Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
The EX ROVR ASCENT from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is an autonomous tracked robot with a 6-axis manipulator for rounds in industrial plants, including stairs up to 46 degrees.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries presents the EX ROVR ASCENT as an autonomous plant inspection robot. According to the page it drives autonomously across several floors using 3D LiDAR localisation, climbs stairs up to 46 degrees and carries a surveillance camera on a 6-degree-of-freedom manipulator (reach about 1 m semi-dome, speed about 100 mm/s, carrying capacity about 3 kg incl. hand). The robot weighs 70 kg (excluding charging station), operates 2 hours per 2 hours of charging with contactless charging, and gathers visual images, thermal scans, acoustic mapping and gas concentrations. Missions are set up remotely through a web browser; communication runs over 4G/LTE. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
