Frontline Robotics (http://www.frontline-robotics.com ) develops systems and technologies for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that focus on perimeter security and public safety. The company develops and delivers a range of mobile robotic solutions for homeland security that are built around its core technology, the Robot Open Control(TM) (The ROC(TM)), a robot operating system that provides autonomy and cognitive collaboration for teams of mobile robots.
“Frontline Robotic’s software technology and integration expertise perfectly complements InRob Tech’s own remote control robotic platforms. Working together will allow us to greatly improve our MIL-STD remote controlled UGVs by allowing them to patrol autonomously, avoid obstacles and to communicate bi-directionally in real time amongst robot team members and with the base station.” explains InRob Tech President, Ben Tsur Joseph. “InRob Tech offers its military standard technologies and stellar reputation, while Frontline Robotics contributes its team intelligence software, to create a genuine win/win technological and business solution for defense and security- related robotics applications.”
InRob Tech and Frontline Robotics have just completed a recent round of talks exploring potential areas of collaboration and cooperation. “In preparing for these discussions, both companies have also sought the opinions of market leaders. We were very pleased to discover that the clients of both companies are very enthusiastic about the potential synergies of this collaboration,” adds Jeremy James, President and CEO of Frontline Robotics. “The fact that Frontline Robotics has a permanent office in Israel facilitates our plans to bid together on local defense contracts.”
“Collaboration with Frontline Robotics opens the door to InRob Tech’s participation in strategically important developments in the security robotics industry. We believe that our businesses will be favorably affected since both companies wisely realize the full potential of this synergism,” notes Ben Tsur Joseph, President of InRob Tech.
