TELEOPERATED FORKLIFT FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS

ORI has adapted its Standardized Teleoperation System (STS) to a heavy duty construction fork lift for unmanned operation in hazardous work areas. STS kits keep vehicle operators out of hazardous environments while the mission is accomplished safely.

Applications include Counterterrorism, emergency response, and hazardous materials handling. This adaptation of STS has clear value for Counter-terrorism and Hazardous Materials incidents on or off road. The STS allows the Skytrak to be changed between manned and unmanned operation with the flick of a switch.

Englewood, Colorado -  August 1, 1997:  Omnitech Robotics has adapted STS kits to over forty vehicles for unmanned military and commercial missions. STS kits adapted on such diverse vehicles as M60 Panther and M1 Panther II tanks, tractors, High-mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, and all-terrain vehicles permit unmanned operation in hazardous areas while the operator drives from a portable, briefcase-sized Operator Control Unit with sound, video, instrumentation, and control of all vehicle functions and payloads.
