About FirstLook 125

FirstLook 125 is a 2.6-kilogram tracked reconnaissance robot designed to be thrown through doors and windows and survive drops reaching five metres. Articulated flippers provide self-righting, stair climbing and movement through rubble and confined spaces.

Visible and thermal cameras, integrated lighting and two-way audio provide live information in dark and GPS-denied environments. An encrypted low-latency link connects with a one-handed controller. FirstLook units can also relay communications for other ground robots and Black Hornet aircraft.
