PRODUCTS > Manipulators > HD-2 Manipulator

RE2 developed tool changing manipulation technology for Northrop Grumman Corporation subsidiary Remotec Inc. to upgrade the manipulation capabilities of the Andros HD-1 unmanned ground vehicle. The U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command awarded Remotec a contract to upgrade its fleet of Andros HD-1 Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) to help counter evolving threats from improvised explosive devices (IEDs). RE2 developed the end segment of the upgraded Andros HD-2 manipulator arm, which features a powerful rolling wrist and gripper that is able to lift and maneuver heavy objects up to 125 pounds, such as a 155mm shell. The manipulator arm’s end segment also features RE2′s Quick Release technology, which allows end-effector tools to be manually changed in the field.
