Łukasiewicz Research Network – Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP has delivered another batch of EOD robots for the Indonesian military. Notably, Łukasiewicz-PIAP products have been present there since 2014.
The contractual work completed this time referred to the PIAP Gryf EOD robots. They have been received by the EOD Teams of the Indonesian Army, as well as the Air Force. On 22nd – 25th June, the prospective users were trained, and functional hand-off of the delivered systems took place. Notably, the Łukasiewicz-PIAP robots are operated by all branches of the Indonesian military.
GRYF robots have been designed to carry out reconnaissance of restricted areas and locations that are hard to be accessed. The robots are equipped with a manipulator with five degrees of freedom, also offering an option of closing the gripping jaws, allowing the robot to carry objects with a mass of up to 15 kilograms. PIAP Gryf features a hybrid drivetrain, using both wheels, and continuous tracks. The robot’s wheels may be removed, which makes the system smaller and facilitates carrying out operations in narrow spaces (using the tracks alone).
