Robotics

ARA develops, prototypes, and manufactures innovative robotic systems. Our robots range from small ground robots to small unmanned air vehicles. Our robotic platforms include:

  • tree/building/stair-climbing surveillance robots,

  • large tracked and wheeled-vehicle mine clearing robots,

  • autonomous patrol vehicles,

  • teleoperated weaponized vehicles, and

  • small UAVs for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Our robots support military operations, law enforcement, search and rescue after natural disasters, and exploration in areas that are unsafe for, or inaccessible by, humans.

 

We have successfully fielded hundreds of systems worldwide performing a variety of missions including; reconnaissance, surveillance, IED defeat, UXO & mine clearance, and hazardous materials handling.

 

ARA provides full support for our platforms including:

  • Research and development

  • Prototype design

  • Testing/modification

  • Full-rate production

  • Logistical support

  • Integrated project team experience

  • Demonstration tests

  • Spares production

  • Repairs and retrofits

  • Technical support via phone, online, or on-site visit

  • Software development

  • Computer based training

 

   

The ARA-developed Lightweight Reconnaissance Vehicle (LRV) is able to climb and descend stairs, rocks and rubble up to 11” in height. This small agile robot has the ability to operate as a stand-alone robot, or deployed from a larger robot.
