How it works

Robots used

  • UGV

Ways to buy it

  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • Grants (e.g., DHS, FEMA) often fund public-safety robots.
  • Ask for training and certification packages.

What to specify and ask

Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":

  1. Hazards (chemical, biological, radiological) and sensors needed
  2. Decontamination needs
  3. Agency or organization
  4. Use case
  5. Response time needs
  6. Environment (urban, wilderness, hazmat)
  7. Training needs
  8. Budget/grant source

Rules and regulation

Public safety drone programs need COA/Part 107 (US) or equivalent; demining follows IMAS standards; hazmat robots may need ATEX certification.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
