Ra.Ro.: the mobile robot with surveillance camera
Ra.Ro. is a robot with surveillance camera suitable for services of environment control and territorial security in general. It constantly analyzes the areas that surround it and, thanks to its technological equipment, collects any anomalies or intrusions, promptly reporting them to the control center.
Fully developed by NuZoo Robotics, Ra.Ro. is the surveillance robot able to perform defined paths in complete autonomy (4 hours of autonomy in full motion) or to be easily controlled by a remote operator. The set of potentialities expressed make it a valid "mobile robotic operator".
Specific functionalities and a range of alarms developed for the world of security and surveillance make Ra.Ro. an innovative and reliable tool in the monitoring of all areas at risk.
AN IMPORTANT ALLY ALWAYS READY TO INTERVENE IN ANY SITUATION
Patrolling of warehouses, or storage areas, as a support to the traditional guard service.
Ra.Ro. carries out surveillance tasks autonomously and avoids the use of personnel by eliminating risks due to human errors.
The robot controls the production process by signaling undesired environmental variations (e.g. gas) in a timely manner.
In high risk areas, such as production or storage of dangerous substances, the use of Ra.Ro. allows to avoid risks for the personnel.
To avoid loss of information by personnel (e.g. data acquisition, security checks, recordings).
A real help in every situation where detection accuracy is needed.
Thanks to technologies for measuring gas levels and thermography, it is able to detect sudden changes in concentrations.
Even in these situations, the use of Ra.Ro. guarantees maximum efficiency and operational safety, for the acquisition of information that allows immediate corrective action.
Manual
Through the Web interface, the remote operator has full control over the movements of the Ra.Ro. With this driving mode the navigation assistance systems are disabled. It is a useful solution to steer the robot in narrow spaces or in the presence of many obstacles. It is also possible to use a Joypad.
Smart Drive
Ra.Ro, through the laser scanner, assists the remote operator during navigation. It avoids obstacles, follows corridors or perimeter walls, facilitates the crossing of gates and stops in case of sudden obstacles. It is the most widely used mode and makes remote control particularly easy, thanks to a "Google Street View" style user interface.
Autonomous driving
Ra.Ro. is able to move autonomously following a pre-established path. This mode does not require the intervention of a remote operator. It is possible to control the status of the robot, as well as see video streams recorded by the same, integrating with existing systems through API. Currently it uses "line follower" logics but the new navigation version we are testing is based on autonomous mapping.
