Titus Next Generation Andros Robot To Be Delivered In December

Northrop Grumman's subsidiary Remotec will deliver the Titus, a next generation Andros which is lighter, faster, stronger and more intelligent unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). The delivery of Titus robot will begin in December which is the newest and smallest member of Andros line of UGVs. Titus weighs 135 pounds and measures 27 inches long, 16 inches wide and 23 inches high and allows the robot to quickly adapt for a variety of mission scenarios. Removable articulators, wheels and tracks provide users with the capability to navigate passageways that are only 16 inches wide or race down range to address a threat at a top speed of 7.5 mph. Mike Knopp, director, Northrop Grumman Remotec, said, “We challenged our engineers to not only retain certain capabilities but also to innovate and add capabilities – to really make the platform robust, highly functional and easy to use. They responded with a small UGV that was mechanically brilliant and reimagined the entire user experience". The Andros operating system provides much greater information to the operator while easing user workload through more interactivity with intelligent payloads such as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear sensors.
