The coremicro Robots consist of the following systems and functionalities for providing a versatile and lightweight remotely controlled station suitable for both military and civilian applications:
 

• Coremicro Robot Main Body
  The Coremicro Robot is a tracked robot with forward track struts and idler wheels for better stair climbing and rough terrain navigation. The robotic platform includes a suite of sensors, gimbaled cameras, laser range finder, lidar scanner, and either a turret or a 6 DOF manipulator for a variety of applications (such as object manipulation, imaging, medical triage support, etc.). The robot is driven by four geared motors which in turn are controlled through the motor controller as a pair of differential motor drives.

​

• Coremicro Robot Control Processor
  The Coremicro Robot platform with a suite of sensors, gimbaled cameras, laser range finder, lidar scanner, and an optional turret or manipulator arm provides the base for a lightweight remotely controlled station. The Coremicro Robot Control Processor provides the intelligent closed-loop control of the station which includes the gimbaled camera, robot waypoint driving, and the turret or arm control (e.g. navigating the end effector to a certain point in 3D space or controlling the turret gun firing).
   

• Coremicro Sensor Fusion Processor
  The Coremicro Sensor Fusion Processor (CSFP) provides the device drivers and data processing/fusion capabilities to the system. The CSFP gathers and organizes the multimodal sensor data and robot status into the shared memory and are accessible by any onboard processors or the remote operator control unit.
   

• Coremicro Image Processor
  The Coremicro Image processor provides the video web server capabilities as well as image processing such as motion and or object of interest detection, scene understanding, alert and camera control functionalities, and more.
   

• Coremicro 4D GIS – Operator Control Unit
  The Coremicro 4D GIS serves as the operator control unit and provides the graphical user interface for remote command and control of the mobile station. The control software can be executed on a standard PC laptop. With the software, the user can set waypoints for semi-autonomous navigation or instead remotely control the robot. The user can view sensor data, imagery, alerts, warnings, and more
   

• Camera/Laser Range Finder Gimbaled System
  The camera/laser range finder gimbaled system provides the targeting and surveillance capability to the remote mobile platform. Integrated with the onboard AGNC AINGPS module, the operator can geo-locate any given object seen through the camera field of view and transmit the object location as well as the image to the command station. Real-time closed-loop object tracking is also provided for tracking an object on the move.
   

• Turret System (Optional)
  A turret system is part of an integrated firing control system with simple intuitive graphical user interface for military applications. The aiming and stabilization control is provided by the onboard robot control processor.​ Integrated computer vision algorithms conduct the necessary object detection, localization, and tracking which is then handed off to the firing control system.

​​

• Coremicro Robot Arm (Optional)
  The Coremicro Robot Arm integrated within the Coremicro Robot provides an efficient platform for medical, among other, applications. The arm consists of a high precision six DOF manipulator for providing dexterity in positioning sensors in close proximity to assessment points and for performing medical assistance related tasks. End-point control is carried out by the Coremicro Robot Control Processor. The sensor interface is managed by the Coremicro Sensor Fusion Processor. Depending on the mission requirements, the sensor module affixed to the end effector may carry a combination of lidar, IR camera, and other biological and/or chemical detectors.

​

• Injury Assessment
  The robot’s sensors and navigation unit allow it to autonomously reach casualties and medics under adverse field conditions. The robot is then able to collect the appropriate information about the casualty’s condition using the multimodal sensor suite (EO/IR images, biological detectors, specialized medical sensing equipment, etc.) so as to execute accurate triage
