Introduction
IdMind designed a new version of RAPOSA for commercial purposes, named RAPOSA NG (Next Generation). This new RAPOSA integrates most functionalities from its predecessor and serves the same purposes. It has sensor detection of explosive gases, toxic gases, temperature and humidity, as well as vision sensors (two conventional cameras at the frontal body, one backyard conventional camera and thermal camera forward) and inclinometers.
The robot dimensions are length: 84cm, width: 47cm, height: 18cm and weight: 17Kg (without batteries).
