RI SPIRIT : autonomy
• The out-of-the-box autonomy module for any mobile or robotics platformdeployed in autonomous robots as well as semi-
autonomous, and teleoperated inspection robotsindoor and outdoor applicationsfor household robots (vacuums, mops, lawn
mowers, security guards)for industrial and professional usage (cleaning,
inspecting, logistics)for increased security and monitoring implementation through RI Services engagement

• Cooperative mapping capabilities• Looking for Objects of Interest and
CBRN-E threats• Collaborate with other team members,
moving in formations• Scouting, logistics (supplies
management), guarding – flexibility of algorithms
• One person controls team of 5-10 robots from a control stationusing a NATO compliant Battlefield Management System BMS
RI FLEET : logistics, security
