Hades-5(S) Under vehicle inspection robot with autonomous scanning technology

Play Video
Hades-5 (S) uses line scanning technology to generate a single still image of the under-vehicle chassis.  Using an android tablet, the robot can help vehicle inspectors, bio security officers and maintenance engineers look for suspicious objects, bio security risks and perform general vehicle condition assessments. Typical time to scan an under vehicle is generally around 45 seconds saving you time money and resources. The robot is customizable and can be built as required by the customer with additional cameras, lights and sensors. Talk to us today. 

Highlights

Automatic scanning technology

Automatically scan the under carriage of the vehicle with the Hades-5 robot using our unique 6 camera system. The robot comes with a rugged Samsung tablet along with our custom app to get a single image of the entire under carriage. Vehicle inspectors, biosecurity officials can use the image to get a bird's eye view of the vehicle chassis looking for faults and risks.

MANUAL inspections

The robot drives automatically while scanning. If a manual inspection is required, using the virtual joystick on the app also drives the robot to allow for manual robotic inspections.

Dust proof and splash proof body

The robot is designed to be dustproof and splash proof. Built with 2mm thick aluminium metal body and powder coated with custom PCB design.

Split screen display for front and top cameras

Option to see split screen view of the underside of the vehicles through the top and front cameras in real-time. This feature allows the inspector to know where they are while inspecting under the vehicle.

Split screen view of the HD and thermal camera

This feature gives a two-dimensional view of the under carriage of vehicles. A handy tool to detect human trafficking, biosecurity and vehicle compliance checks.

Customizable robot to suit multiple use cases

The Hades-5 (S) is customizable to meet various use cases. We can program and engineer the robot to your needs in terms of hardware, software and electronics.

Splash proof dust proof aluminum chassis powder coated with safety yellow color to suit industrial applications. We can customize the chassis color as per customer requirement at an additional cost.

Interchangeable wheels

We can also provide interchangeable wheels for the robot. The wheel can be of different size in height and width to suit different surfaces where the robot may be used.

Line array camera

We have designed and built a unique camera system that will allow users to take a snapshot of the vehicle chassis. When scan is complete, can zoom in on specific spots and also save the scan to the gallery.

TRANSPORT CASE

The robot comes with a high quality sturdy transport case with rollers. Customers can extend the handle and roll the case when transporting the robot. The case is well padded on the inside providing good protection for the robot.

BATTERY

We use Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries for our robots. Most people are familiar with lithium-ion as they most likely own a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Lithium iron phosphate is a newer type of battery gaining recognition in the manufacturing industries due to its cost-effective materials and stability with high temperatures.. To charge the battery simply plug in the charge cable. The robot can be charged off the mains or car cigarette lighter.

CUSTOM PCB DESIGN

We have designed and built our own PCB with micro components for reliability and safety of the robot. With built in battery management system and safety triggers, our latest PCB allows for future add-ons and upgrades with both 5V and 9V plug point for devices.
