LAS VEGAS, Feb. 9, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- InRob Ltd. (OTCBB:IRBL), a leader in the development and production of advanced wireless control systems and integrated solutions for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), today announced that the Company has launched the development of remote control systems for tractors, making them fully or semi-autonomous.
Building upon InRob Tech's existing remote control technologies, the Company has launched the development of applications intended to solve everyday operations on tractors. InRob will install a low-level control (LLC) system on the tractor, an electronic system that enables the operator to remotely drive the tractor.
The initiative for the creation of this system comes from business development discussions that the Company has held with various contacts around the world.
A sophisticated navigation system will be built on this LLC foundation. The system will be able to upload way points that dictate the exact route of the tractor, which guide the tractor autonomously from point to point. In addition, as the tractor is driven by the operator, the system can memorize and store the route for future autonomous use. Several routes can be stored in the system, and the operator will even be able to upload new routes while the tractor is in operation, enabling the operator to choose the best route for the tractor at any given time. InRob Tech's autonomous tractor system will also allow for operator intervention, meaning that the operator can 'fall back' to a remote control system for driving and operating the tractor.
"Our new development will be a significant advancement in positioning InRob as a major player in the military and civilian industries," says Shimon Shamai, InRob Tech's VP of Research & Development. "We will continue to develop systems that are geared to enabling unmanned operation of both mundane and dangerous activities."
The Company expects to have a working prototype ready within six months.
