Endeavor Robotics Delivers 44 ‘Throwable’ Robots to Germany

Endeavor Robotics has delivered 44 FirstLook robots to the German Government.

Endeavor passed field tests that compared FirstLook's performance capabilities against the German Government's stated requirements.

"The FirstLook is a critical tool used to keep soldiers and first responders safe from lethal threats," Endeavor Robotics President Tom Frost said in a statement Tuesday.

FirstLook robots are used across multiple sectors, including military, law enforcement and the energy industry.

The five-pound 'throwable' robot can be dropped 16-feet onto concrete without sustaining damage. The recordable day/night cameras and two-way audio provide the user with immediate awareness of their surroundings.

FirstLooks are often used to clear buildings and detect IEDs. The robots can climb up to seven inches and can automatically 'self-right' when flipped over. The remote controlled robot acts as 'eyes and ears' allowing the human operator to increase their stand-off distance from potential threats. The camera's audio and video recordings also provide critical post-mission analysis.
