Qinetiq NA Talon Robot
TALON is a powerful, lightweight, versatile robot designed for missions ranging from reconnaissance to weapons delivery. Its large, quick-release cargo bay accommodates a variety of sensor payloads, making TALON a one-robot solution to a variety of mission requirements.
Built with all-weather, day/night and amphibious capabilities standard, TALON can operate under the most adverse conditions to overcome almost any terrain. The portable robot is controlled through either a two-way RF or F/O line from a portable or wearable Operator Control Unit (OCU) that provides continous data and video feedback for precise vehicle positioning.
TALON's payload and sensor options include: multiiple cameras (color, back and white, infrared, thermal, zero-light), a two-stage arm, gripper manipulators, pan/tilt, two-way communications, NBA (nuclear,biological,chemical) sensors, radiation sensors, UXO/countermine detector sensors, grenate and smoke placing modules, breaching tools, communications equipment, distracters and disrupters.

"Because of your involvement and contribution to the Ginger Project, we would like to thank you for making it all happen.
You seized the opportunity to learn how to build a motor drive in the early stages. You designed, laid out and built (two major and one minor) versios of the amplifier from scratch in 5 months while also producing boards for C1 and the rest of D1, and provide major support for Fred. Your basic and thorough understanding of PC board layout and grounding issues for both analog and digital circuits paid off handsomely in laying out the power stage of this amplifier, a very tricky task. You did all of this with constantly changing undocumented requirements.
With admiration and respect,
The Ginger Team
DEKA's IBOTTM 3000
One of DEKA's most widely anticipated products is the INDEPENDENCE IBOTTM Mobility System. Developed for Indepenence Technology a division of Johnson & Johnson, the IBOTTM is a sophisticated mobility aid for the physically challenged designed to climb stairs and traverse uneven terrain. The IBOTTM uses self-balancing technology, allowing users to better operate in a world architected for those with balance.
