Rover for you: Choosing Appropriate Rover Specifications
By Prof. Anirban Guha
Abstract:
While examining remotely operated vehicles (Rovers), security agencies usually face a bewildering array of choices. The commercial Rovers come in a large number of weight categories and with myriad capabilities. This tempts one to seek the best of all the options. The result is often a set of specifications which are either impossible to achieve or degrade some unexpected capability of the Rover. This webinar attempts to guide the participant to choose an appropriate set of specifications for a Rover which will suit the requirements of the agency in the most common operating conditions.
