[Plano Police Bomb Squad Robot]
YOU'RE GETTING A, AN EXAMPLE OR A DEMO OF OUR BOMB ROBOT.LAST YEAR WE HAD AVAILABLE GRANT FUNDING AND WE WERE ABLE, ABLE TO OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT ROBOT FOR THE PLANO POLICE DEPARTMENT BOMB SQUAD.
THE ICAR FLEX HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT ENHANCEMENTS.
IT HAS RADAR LIDAR TO MEASURE OUT A SHOT.
IT MAKES IT MORE SEAMLESSLY TO CLIMB UP AND DOWN STAIRS.
IT HAS INCREDIBLE CAMERAS, IT HAS 4K CAMERAS AND IT HAS ADDITIONAL TOOL SET WHERE WE CAN PUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOOLS ON THE ARMS TO GET IN CERTAIN AREAS TO ACTUALLY, UH, OPEN UP DEVICES, PACKAGES.
DRONES ARE TREMENDOUS TOOLS THAT WE CAN USE FOR OBSERVATION PURPOSES, AND SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN ACTUALLY SET A DRONE ON TOP OF THE ARM, SEND IT DOWN TO THE SCENE, AND IF WE NEED IT, WE CAN ACTUALLY DEPLOY IT UP ON THE SCENE TO GET AN AREA OF VIEW.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, UH, YOU SEND THE ROBOT DOWN AS AN OBSERVATION PLAN FOR, TO DEVELOP A PLAN ON TACKLING ANY TYPE OF SUSPICIOUS DEVICE.
UH, WE LIKE TO USE THAT TECHNOLOGY, BRING IT BACK.
WE CAN SET UP WHATEVER TYPE OF TOOL WE CAN ON IT TO GO DOWN TO TAKE A SHOT OR OPEN IT MANUALLY.
WHAT MATTERS IS, IS EVERYBODY GOES HOME.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYBODY IN THE CITY OF PLANO IS SAFE, AND THIS IS THE BOMB ROBOT IS JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE CAN USE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT MISSION.
