INSPECTOR FOR SPECIAL MISSIONS

The INSPECTOR robot can replace men in situations when human life or health is endangered.

In its class, the inspecting and neutralising (EOD/IEDD) INSPECTOR robot is distinguished by its great lifting capacity and the ability to travel in difficult terrain and to overcome its uneven surface and high obstacles.

Typical Usage:


  • Inspection, transportation and neutralisation of hazardous material.
  • Support for counterterrorist operations.
  • High-risk hazardous environments missions.
  • Building protection and supervision.
  • Cooperation with the EXPERT or other robot.


Basic Features of INSPECTOR Robot


  • Width of the mobile base enables to drive through standard doors (70 cm) and to move around the interiors of residential and office buildings.
  • The robot is powered by batteries installed inside the mobile platform or through a cable plugged into the 230V power network.
  • The maximum operation time when powered by batteries is 2 to 8 hours (depending on the operations).
  • During the external power supply (by cable) the batteries are automatically recharged.
  • INSPECTOR is equipped with 4 cameras: on the gripper, in back and front of the robot and on the manipulator (the main camera which may be turned completely around by 360° and 90° up and down).
  • Special driving system reduces recoil effect when firing the pyrotechnical disrupter or in case of explosion of the load placed in the gripping device or its vicinity.
  • The manipulator is equipped with:
    • manipulator arms extreme position sensors,
    • position sensors in main manipulator’s degrees of freedom,
    • gripping force sensor,
    • sockets for fixing of so-called ‘whiskers’ on the gripper’s master jaw (for visual estimation of distance),
    • an omni directional microphone.
  • The operator’s post is equipped with three LCD monitors, which show, apart from the view from chosen camera, a graphic interpretation of the manipulator arm and front caterpillars configuration.
  • Time of the operation when powered by batteries of the operator’s post together with the console is approximately 4 hours, and the portable console gives 3 hours additionally, what guarantees total 7 hours of the operation.
  • Robot can be controlled by radio or by cable.
  • Control cable is light and mechanically resistant.
  • Fluent velocity control of all the drives from 0 to maximum speed ensures high precision of operation. There is a possibility of the reduction of maximal velocity allowing precision of performed operations (after pushing an appropriate button, the maximum velocity reduces itself to 20%).
  • Audio signal of emergency situations in the control console alerts operator in case of irregularity in robot’s function.
  • Illuminated keyboard of the control console enable to control in the dark.
Unique Features of INSPECTOR Robot


  • The INSPECTOR can tow vehicles left in any gear of a mass of up to 1500 kg.
  • Front caterpillars (remote control of tilt angle) increase traction abilities, longitudinal stability and enable smooth motion on stairs, as well as highly uneven terrain.
  • The manipulator is able to lift 30 kg on extended arms and 60 kg on folded arms.
  • The turn of the manipulator’s base amounts as much as 400°.
  • Constant spatial orientation of the object placed in the gripper, irrespective of the movement of other manipulator arms, enables precision manipulation of hazardous devices.
  • Control system of the robot enables to control all of its drives at the same time.
  • A program for automatic folding of the manipulator down to a transport position speeds up and makes easier preparing the robot for transport.

Short Range Ground Surveillance Radar
We are working on development of short range ground surveillance radar for detection of moving targets. The project provides an opportunity to develop know-how of complete electronic system design and development and at the same time, the project acts as a platform for working on research areas of current interest such as automatic target classification, high resolution representation of radar micro-Doppler signal and rain clutter mitigation (range enhancement using signal processing). Our electronic system development effort is geared towards acquiring the know-how to conceive design and develop a complete electronic system that meets a given set of user requirements. In order to meet these system level requirements we have designed and fabricated its components such as antenna, microwave circuits and modules, baseband circuits, DSP system, built-in test and monitoring, turn tilt platform and mechanical hardware.

Patch Antenna Embedded in Dielectric Coating
In this work, frequency selective surface has been implemented over radome to address the issue of composite radome matching. Different planer artificial structures are implemented surrounding the antenna aperture to restore the broad coverage of patch antenna with low return loss. Implementation of artificially hard boundary in the form of longitudinal metallic strips restores the -3 dB beamwidth (

) of the antenna in E-plane at the cost of antenna gain. Soft ring over dielectric coating surrounding the antenna aperture is optimized here for broad beamwidth (

) in E-plane with increased gain near to 7 dB by suppressing the creeped RF energy from thick dielectric coating.

Multiband Fractal Antenna:
Sierpinski fractal monopole antenna and its scale factor variations have been studied. The Sierpinski fractal monopole antenna designed exhibits multiband behavior with three log-periodic bands, spaced with a log-period of 2. The number of log-periodic bands is proportional to the number of fractal iterations. By changing the geometrical scale factor of the Sierpinski Fractal, the band positions are changed accordingly, which confirms that the band positions correspond to the geometrical scale factor of the Sierpinski fractal, but it results in poor input matching (the return loss of the three log periodic bands being approximately -9 dB). This poor input matching is improved by using microstrip line feeding and consequently the return loss of the log-periodic bands improves to less than -15 dB.

Spatial Power Combining in Rectangular Waveguides using Dense Finline Arrays:

Spatial power combiners using dense finline arrays (tapered slot antennas) arranged in tray configuration and enclosed in a standard Ku band waveguide (WR-62) have been designed in this work. The design of the finline taper is the most challenging aspect in this work. Before the tapers can be synthesized, a relationship between phase constant of the finline array and its geometrical parameters must be established which can only be achieved through full wave EM analysis. Matlab codes were developed using Spectral Domain Method (SDM) to extract this relationship for single-tray finline, two-tray finline and four-tray finline configuration. Results of SDM codes were also compared with Ansoft HFSS and were found to be in good aggrement. Two tray finline and Four tray finline tapers along with dielectric matching, connected back to back were fabricated and tested using Time Domain Gating feature of Network Analyzer. Results indicate measured return loss of 26.3 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 23.5 dB for single tray finline, 19 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 18.6 dB for two tray finline and 16 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 15.5 dB for four tray finline at 16 GHz.
