Description
FirstLook
FLIR
The FLIR FirstLook is a rugged, compact throwable robot built to deliver immediate situational awareness, persistent surveillance, and safe hazardous material investigation in confined or dangerous environments.
Designed for fast deployment, FirstLook powers up in seconds and can be thrown into buildings, tunnels, or hazardous spaces where larger robots can’t operate. It provides real-time visual, audio, and sensor feedback to operators, enabling tactical teams to assess risks before entry and respond more effectively.
At just under 6 lb, FirstLook is lightweight, durable, and maneuverable, capable of:
• Climbing over curbs and small obstacles
• Turning in place for tight navigation
• Self-righting when flipped over
The robot operates seamlessly using the uPoint® Multi-Robot Control System with a touchscreen tablet interface, allowing users to switch between robots and payloads with ease. It also utilizes the MPU5 radio operating on the Wave Relay® MANET, creating a resilient communications network between operators, observers, and multiple robots in the field.
