Barrett Technology has received purchase orders from the US Navy to deliver three Robotnik Summit XL mobile platforms.
The Robotnik-built Summit XL is a compact autonomous vehicle, consisting of independent suspension and drives, as well as omni-directional treads on each of its wheels.
The Summit XL medium-sized high mobility all-terrain robot is equipped with nimble suspension systems that enable the vehicles to handle obstacles more than half the height even when moving at a speed of 3m/sec.
Robotnik CEO Roberto Guzmán said: "Barrett has been a solid partner for us, and so we’re especially pleased with this early adoption of our vehicles by the US Navy."
