El US Army ha estado probando un innovador micro-robot de reconocimiento t\u00e1ctico denominado Firstlook-125. Se destaca por su capacidad de ser lanzado y al caer se despliega de manera aut\u00f3noma, comenzando a operar. Conocido en el \u00e1mbito militar y policial como un Throwbot, est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado para ser arrojado a trav\u00e9s de ventanas o puertas en zonas de riesgo. Su estructura altamente resistente soporta fuertes impactos y ca\u00eddas hasta 5m. Cuenta con c\u00e1maras \u00f3pticas y sistemas de visi\u00f3n infrarroja para operar en la oscuridad, transmitiendo audio y video en tiempo real hacia las unidades operativas. Esto permite localizar de manera segura posibles amenazas, confirmar situaci\u00f3n de rehenes o simplemente hacer reconocimiento de instalaciones.<\/p>\n
Teledyne FLIR Defense has\u00a0unveiled<\/a>\u00a0a hand-deployable reconnaissance unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) at a special operations forces conference in Florida, offering a flexible \u201cfirst-in\u201d solution for dismounted troops.<\/p>\n The 5.7-pound (3-kilogram) robot, dubbed FirstLook 125, delivers live visual, thermal, and audio data while navigating complex terrain.<\/p>\n Its rugged design can survive 16-foot (5-meter) drops, self-right instantly, and maneuver through tight spaces, including stairwells, rubble, and other uneven surfaces using articulated flippers.<\/p>\n The platform is fitted with an enhanced electro-optical\/infrared camera, integrated lighting, and two-way audio to support operations in low-light, congested, and high-interference environments.<\/p>\n The robot also uses encrypted, low-latency connectivity to maintain situational awareness and support faster battlefield decision-making.<\/p>\n Promoting Interoperability<\/strong><\/p>\n FirstLook 125 shares a controller and operational architecture with Teledyne\u2019s proprietary\u00a0Black Hornet 4 nano-drone<\/a>, allowing a single operator to manage the ground platform alongside aerial systems without switching equipment.<\/p>\n The company\u00a0stated<\/a>\u00a0that the commonality feature supports rapid transitions between interior and exterior surveillance while maintaining continuous scouting across domains.<\/p>\n \u201cRuggedness isn\u2019t even a question,\u201d\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Tung Ng<\/strong>, vice president for unmanned systems at Teledyne FLIR Defense. \u201cThrough repeated throws, hard drops \u2014 plus its agility in confined spaces \u2014 FirstLook 125 is engineered for reliability when conditions are toughest.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAlong with our FirstLook 110 robot, the FirstLook family continues to give operators eyes, ears \u2014 and confidence \u2014 before putting personnel in harm\u2019s way,\u201d he added.
