LAS VEGAS, Nov. 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- InRob Ltd. ("InRob") (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 its new mini-tractor, the Keter Paz, has begun rolling off InRob's production lines.
The Keter Paz, InRob's new remote controlled mini-tractor designed for bomb and mine disposal missions, was unveiled at an annual IDF conference on devices for its special units earlier this year. The new mini-tractor will now enter into full service in the IDF. The Keter Paz is a remotely operated machine that clears mines and open paths, and is equipped with several accessories, including a five-section robotic arm, a set of cameras that provides the operator with a full view of the machine, and a metal cultivator that allows the machine to rake mines buried in the ground.
"InRob is proud to be involved in developing sophisticated robotics systems that help save lives, and our new mini-tractor will play an important role in future civilian and military security missions, especially the detection, neutralization, and breaching of minefields and other obstacles. The Keter Paz can be deployed ahead of the troops, while the operator sits several hundreds yards away, under protection. We have been recently seeing a surge in interest our control systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous unmanned ground vehicles for an increasing number of security-related tasks. Recent studies project that the unmanned systems market will reach several billion dollars next year, in North America alone," notes Ben Tsur Joseph, InRob's CEO.
