It only took RE2 minutes to train AFCEC and AFCEC contractors how to teleoperate the vehicle and perform debris removal. RE2 also helped clean a test range, during which it helped remove different types of debris including culverts, metal structures, sheet metal and a large, tubular structure.Īdditionally, RE2 showcased non-line-of-sight teleoperation of the telehandler, including simultaneous operation of the vehicle, boom, and auxiliary hydraulics. The second operation used the fork attachment to demonstrate debris removal. The first operation used a brush attachment to demonstrate sweeping, which helped clear a roadway of debris. In support of cleanup from Hurricane Michael, RE2 demonstrated two distinct operations using a Genie GTH-1256 telehandler. “When we were asked to use the Air Force-funded RADR robotic retrofit kit technology to assist with the clean-up efforts, we deployed our team without hesitation.” “Tyndall Air Force Base sustained catastrophic damage during Hurricane Michael,” says Jorgen Pedersen, president and CEO of RE2 Robotics. Located at Tyndall Air Force Base, AFCEC was badly damaged during Hurricane Michael in October 2018. RE2 Robotics has announced that a commercially available telehandler equipped with its Rapid Airfield Damage Recovery (RADR) robotic applique kit performed teleoperated disaster clean-up at the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) in Florida. RE2 Robotics uses its RADR robotic applique kit to preform robotic disaster cleanup in Florida In this week’s roundup from the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, which highlights some of the latest news and headlines in unmanned vehicles and robotics, telehandlers clear airfield and test range debris after they sustain hurricane damage, Oklahoma State University gains permission to fly fixed-wing drone swarms, and Rome, NY hosts an integration of UAS into traffic control systems.
