The throwable bot is about 8 inches long and is intended to help militaries with surveillance.
The gadget seen in August, 2020, here is a Throwbot, one of several different types of throwable robots.a robot. It lands, all four oversized wheels absorbing the shock, and immediately the little machine is rolling around, ready to scout underneath cars and around corners before the soldiers get there. This is the SIGYN Mk1 Recon System, a throwable robot marketed at militaries and police forces and announced earlier this month.
The complete package, at least as promised, is a tool for better clearing rooms and approaching otherwise dangerous situations. A throwable robot can put a camera on people just out of reach, or whom it would be dangerous to observe up close. For soldiers clearing rooms in a building, orto do the same, being able to explore with a robot first can offer information and advantage without risking the lives of anyone in uniform.
Throwable robots are niche machines with niche applications, promising a feature no other tool can deliver the same way. In a demonstration video produced by SKY-HERO, one of the three companies that make the SIGYN throwable robot, the vehicle can be released from a backpack, remotely controlled under a car, tossed like a grenade, tumble down stairs, drive over netting, and even continue to operate after being driven directly over by a car.
The robot’s four wheels are just under 4 inches in diameter, and the whole machine is just 7 inches wide and almost 8 inches long. That’s a compact body, and the compactness is the point. This is a machine that can be carried and can navigate through and under various obstacles, like gates or barricades, and it can be thrown through windows or around corners.
The other two companies involved in making the SIGYN are Aardvark Tactical and Project7 Armor. Borrowing language that would be perfectly in place in a Silicon Valley pitch deck, Aardvark Tactical’sdescribed the robot as part of “an easy-to-use, intelligent recon ecosystem that revolutionizes mission safety.” Also in that system is the Loki quadcopter and a handheld controller.
