Overproductive Rescue Robot

Experts from the Israeli University of Ben-Gurion created a unique robot that can overcome the most difficult obstacles. The model was named RSTAR and was presented at the international conference on robotics in Brisbane, Australia.

RSTAR can easily climb walls, crawl inside tunnels, move in crevices and overcome rugged terrain.

The legs of the robot are located at a certain distance from the body, but they can freely change the center of gravity. This allows you to increase the efficiency of the machine and expand the functionality and variability of tasks performed.

Thanks to the possibility of shifting the center of gravity, the new model can climb up without the risk of overturning. Chief Designer and Project Leader David Zarruk confirms that his brainchild can move inside the pipe, both vertically and horizontally. At the same time its wheels are pressed against the walls without touching the floor.

The main purpose of the novelty is rescue work. In difficult conditions of emergency situations, when the rescuers are required maximum concentration, endurance and psychological stability, robots can be of great help. Models capable of overcoming debris, moving inside pipes and crevices, are ready to turn into full-fledged members of rescue teams, not inferior to humans, but surpassing them in some indicators.
