ZEUS Robot – Robot Modularity

The Three Benefits of Modularity

With today’s new threats, you need to transform into a lighter, faster responding unit.

ZEUS has been designed for the EOD/IEDD/CBRNe and SWAT community to deal with a range of scenarios from simple reconnaissance, CBRNe investigation or to full scale EOD render safe procedures (RSP).
Highly modular design allows ZEUS to be configured from a lightweight simple robot to a fully capable C-IED and EOD robot.
This ability to configure ‘in field’ gives maximum capability with minimum equipment.
No need to have different robots for simple reconnaissance and another for specific tasks. Now all those roles can be fulfilled with 1 platform.
Until now operators have had lightweight robots that don’t have the strength and capability of heavier robots and heavier robots that don’t have the ease of deployment of lightweight robots. Now you can have all the advantages of both a heavy and light robot, but in 1 platform.

As well as configuring to the mission, the modular design also allows operators to repair ‘in field’.
Should part of ZEUS be damaged in action, there is no longer any need to bring your robot back to a workshop for repair.
Within minutes, almost all of the critical modules of ZEUS can be removed, and by simply replacing the damaged module via the quick release modular construction, ZEUS can be back up and running in minutes.

The 3rd benefit is this ability to break down ZEUS into its component modules and be carried in a backpack. This ease of transportation brings a whole new capability to dismounted teams.
The unit can be broken down quickly, carried to the desired location, reassembled and made ready for operation in minutes.
The modules may be easily stored within vehicles, utilising multiple small cavities if space is at a premium.
A dedicated slot for the robot is not required, and it can be placed under benches or alongside other equipment, meaning you can carry more capability in your vehicles.
Couple this with the lightweight control unit and the ability to configure the robot to suit scenarios, it allows only the essential systems to be carried forward, leaving anything not required behind.
This means ZEUS truly is a highly capable but man transportable system.
