Enhancing Tactical Operations with Advanced wireless Technology

RoboteX has integrated Doodle Labs’ 900 MHz Prism WiFi transceiver and 2.4 GHz NM-2450-2G broadband transceiver into its AVATAR multipurpose unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). This integration enables the platform to function effectively in non-line of sight (NLOS) scenarios, making it a vital asset for various tactical applications, including security operations, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) management. The AVATAR allows response teams to remotely assess and inspect potentially dangerous situations, ensuring the safety of human operators.

RoboteX AVATAR: A Versatile Tactical Solution

Originally conceived as a tactical robot for military use,the AVATAR has evolved into an indispensable tool for SWAT teams,law enforcement,and emergency responders. Its lightweight and modular design enables customization for a wide range of critical missions, enhancing its operational versatility.

Challenges in Remote Navigation

To effectively execute its missions, the AVATAR must navigate complex environments remotely.This necessitates a robust wireless link capable of transmitting audio and video data while maintaining command and control functionalities. The system must operate seamlessly in NLOS conditions, overcoming barriers such as walls and other structural obstructions. Therefore, the transceivers must deliver high transmit power and mitigate Fresnel zone interference, which can occur due to the robot’s proximity to the ground. Additionally, the components must be resilient and resistant to vibrations.

Collaborative Innovation with doodle Labs

After exploring various solutions, RoboteX turned to Doodle Labs to address these demanding requirements. Following extensive testing, it was concluded that the 900 MHz (NM-915-2F) and 2.4 GHz (NM-2450-2F) broadband transceivers were the most suitable options. These transceivers underwent rigorous testing over several months, demonstrating remarkable performance in challenging environments and NLOS conditions.

Integration and Market Impact

The successful integration of Doodle Labs’ transceivers into the AVATAR has been a game-changer for RoboteX. The company emphasized the transceivers’ PCIe interface, compact design, and Linux driver support as key advantages that set them apart in the market.Following extensive research, RoboteX confidently asserts that these transceivers are among the best available.

Global reach and Future applications

The AVATAR has been deployed to numerous clients seeking advanced safety robot solutions, both in the United States and abroad. Beyond its tactical and security applications, RoboteX is collaborating with Rover Robotics to explore innovative uses for their robotic platform in industrial and academic settings.
