Abstract:
A mobile robot with a chassis including one or more drive mechanisms and at least a first arm pivotably connected to the chassis and configured to pitch up and down. A ski structure is attached on an underside of the first arm for raising the chassis as the arm is pitched down so the drive mechanisms can traverse a riser in the path of the chassis.

Abstract:
A hazardous materials sensing robot includes a robot platform and a universal mounting tray on the robot platform for removably mounting thereon a plurality of sensors each having an output. An electronic interface unit is configured to receive the outputs of the sensors. An operator control unit remotely operates the robot platform. There is a communication link between the robot platform and the operator control unit for transmitting the sensor outputs to the operator control unit.
