Products For Search & Rescue

Portable and rugged, Inuktun's crawlers offer a life-saving solution for emergency response teams. This was proven in New York City in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001 when Inuktun's SAR products assisted in the search and rescue efforts while negotiating confined spaces and rough terrain.

Inuktun's VGTV™ is the robot of choice for the Center for Robot Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR) due to its ease of operation and performance in rugged terrain.

Our Customers Say:

We brought four of the VGTV™ robots with us to conduct human robot interaction studies between the First Responders and the robots. The controls for this system are well-designed making it possible to train people with little experience how to operate robots in less than 15 minutes. The robots performed well in rubble, and are our choice of robots.
