Draft:Robotican

Submission declined on 30 September 2024 by Wikishovel (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

Robotican is an Israeli company, privately owned, developing and manufacturing intelligent UAS and UGV's solutions for military and homeland security (HLS) applications. Robotican's team includes specialists in manufacturing, software development, algorithmics, and engineering, working together to develop and produce the company's technological solutions.

History

Robotican was founded in 2013 by Hagai Balshai (CEO & Co‑Founder), along with Yam Geva (CTO & Co‑Founder) and Eli Ben-Aharon (Chairman & Co‑Founder). Robotican, has been developing and manufacturing autonomous robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for more than a decade, making it a global leader in the manufacturing of unique and advanced autonomous robotic solutions.

Robotican's products are designed to reduce workloads and improve workspace efficiency, thereby enhancing performance and efficiency in non-routine applications as well as hazardous conditions. One of the company's products is a hybrid robot drone known as "Rooster^[1]", designed for monitoring, surveillance, and tracking purposes, entering disaster-stricken areas before the rescue teams and entering suspicious and dangerous areas before the Operators.

The company also offers an autonomous interceptor drone system known as the "Goshawk^[2]". Another product in development is the Autonomous Robotic Kit (ARK), providing autonomous capabilities to any robotic platform. As a result of a recent research, development, and manufacturing efforts, Robotican has created "Sphera," a simulation tool for optimizing the planning, manufacturing, and evaluation of robotic and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tools, which will enable them to function autonomously.

Products

Rooster

"Rooster^[3]" is a hybrid system that combines the capabilities of a ground robot and a drone. As a result of the lessons learned from "Zuk Eitan" and efforts to address the issue of terror tunnels in Gaza, "Rooster" was developed - a hybrid robotic drone with both ground rolling and flight capabilities. The Rooster is a revolutionary hybrid system for indoor and underground unmanned assignments and missions.

The combination of ground-robotic and airborne- drone capabilities provides a fast and safe platform with long-endurance capabilities for indoor missions. The ability to roll over all types of terrain and fly over obstacles, up staircases or through windows to reach confined spaces, provide an optimized and easy-to-use solution for operators – all with the Rooster's rugged cage structure. Rooster drone is more than just another drone, it is a life-saver tactical tool for soldiers in the field, which goes first in front of the force and leaves last after everyone else.

The Rooster system includes three relay platforms connected by Mesh communication to increase underground and indoor penetration distances and improve communications with the control unit. In addition to its FHD camera, additional payloads can be mounted to meet end-users operational needs.

Features

Rooster, unlike other indoor drones, is capable of both rolling and flying, making it a valuable asset in combat areas containing buildings. In urban environments, the soldier can use the Roosters to enter through windows, doors, and openings and to navigate above obstacles.
One of the most distinctive features of the Rooster is its ability to roll on the ground, which preserves the battery life for extended operation. For field units engaged in high-quality operations, the system's long operational lifespan is critical.
As a result of its robust cage and its high IP rating, the Rooster can operate in the most challenging conditions and places.
In many ways, the Rooster is the equivalent of a Swiss army knife tool, since it can be used for a variety of purposes. The Rooster is capable of carrying a wide variety of payloads to address the challenges presented by end users.

Goshawk

"Goshawk^[4]" is a powerful autonomous drone for capturing and retrieving hostile drones, using a special net effector for controlled disposal of captured drones in designated areas. This high-performance drone saves lives, protects large areas and prevents collateral damage.

The Goshawk drone is a 24/7 available solution, designed for rapid response and perimeter protection. Its speed and agility set it apart from other systems, enabling it to neutralize threats quickly. With its easy deployment and simple operation, the Goshawk can be quickly integrated into any security infrastructure. Its autonomous capabilities, powered by machine learning, enable it to identify and differentiate between drones and non-threatening objects like birds, ensuring precision in threat detection and response.

Sphera

"Sphera^[5]" is a simulation tool for optimizing the planning, manufacturing, and evaluation of robotic and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tools, which will enable them to function autonomously. Sphera presents a work environment adapted to the operational environment in which the robot operates to allow it to work with team members. The product operates in the ROS2 system (a protocol for robotic processing in real time).

ARK

"ARK" is an autonomous kit designed to equip non-autonomous robotic platforms with advanced autonomous capabilities through plug & play integration. It enables robots to autonomously scan and map indoor facilities, buildings, and underground environments.

Capabilities

Autonomous navigation in GPS-denied areas with obstacle avoidance.
3D mapping and real-time 2D map and FPV video streaming.
Automatic detection and passage through hatches, doors, and windows.
Object identification and classification using image processing and deep learning.
Autonomous stairs detection and environment exploration.
Communication loss resilience, allowing mission completion.
Easy mechanical, electronic, and communication system integration.

The ARK kit significantly improves the autonomous performance of robotic platforms, making them more effective in complex and challenging environments.
