Design of the communication, power management and interchangeable sensor payload system for an inspection-class robotic platform
With the "golden day" being the first 24 hours after an urban disaster, after which the survival rate of victims decreases dramatically, there is a requirement for a low-cost first-response robotic platform. UCT robotics is developing a platform to fulfil this requirement, with the Scarab (Figure …
