Gryf Upgraded PIAP One of the flagship products of the Polish Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP) is the mo- bile EOD robot GRYF. The fact that this robot is popular among customers means that it meets their expectations – maybe it would be worthwhile to increase its capabilities even more and expand the group of potential users? PIAP Gryf (English Gryphon) is a small and lightweight (basic weight of about 35 kg) EOD robot designed to exami- nations, including ground and hard-to- reach places, as well as EOR. By default, it is facilitated with a manipulator with five degrees of freedom, thanks to which it may pick up objects up to 15 kg. Its construction includes combined wheel and tracked carriage system with additional tilting tracks in its front part. The allow the robot to overcome diffi- cult terrain, stairs, or curbs. If necessary, it is possible to dismount wheels from the drive system, so that only tracks are left. Thanks to this, Gryf may maneuver in coffined spaces. The robot has been facilitated with a PTZ color camera with 22x optical zoom and LED or LED IR illumination, which may move vertically through 150°, and hori- zontally through 350°. The second cam- era is mounted on the gripper and apart from support lights, it also has a heater. The surveillance equipment is comple- mented with two body cameras installed By/Photo: Michał Sitarski UGV
