1999-2008 Products and Prototypes : Categories • Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UGVs and UUVs) • Future Soldier Solutions • Surveillance, Inspection and Safety kit Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience
1999-2008 Unmanned Vehicles • Crawler Micro Tracked UGV • Tankbot six wheeled man portable UGV • Magnetic Ship-Crawling robot “CRAB” • Two-wheeled Flapper UGV Spyrobot MKII • Four wheeled Flapper UGV Spyrobot 4WD (2 gens) • Micro Flapper UGV Micro Spyrobot (MSR) • Six wheeled Flapper UGV 6WD for US Army REF Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience
1999-2008 Unmanned Vehicles micro ROV “Maggie” Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience • Date: 1999 • Status: Prototype • Units made: 1 First Macroswiss Robot, used directly exposed halogen lamps tested in in- house hyperbaric chamber to 300 ATM. Syntactic foam (manufactured in house) also tested to 300 ATM and used as structure. Total weight 4 Kg. Tethered ROV. Field tested to 400 mt depth.
Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience Developed between 1999 and 2001 the MACROSWISS “Maggie” ROV was the last ROV prototype manufactured by Macroswiss. This innovative, 3000 mt proof, system used resin-sealed brushless motors to avoid issues of formation of carbon clinkers in oil pressure- compensated electric brush motors. The unit was entirely developed in Macroswiss, has a weight of around 7 Kg and lights for 200 W of halogen bulbs. The engine configuration granted this prototype very good maneuvrability which was useful in operating in tight areas. The “Maggie” ROV has a carbon fibre chassis which integrates syntactic foam (4000 mt proof polyurethane-encased hollow glass microspheres) as part of the structure, reducing in this way both weight and size. The 200 W lights are directly exposed to the external pressure since the shape and strength of the quartz glass bulb is sufficient to resist depths far exceeding the maximum oceanic depth.

Presented at DSEi 2003. Total weight 400 Gr. Analogue Video Transmitter and commercial RC controls. Very good handling (over 45° slope) thanks to “tail” design addition. Excellent terrain handling.
Tankbot six wheeled man portable UGV Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience 1999-2008 Unmanned Vehicles • Date: 2003 • Status: POC Prototype • Units made: 1 First Macroswiss medium size UGV. Presented at DSEi 2003. Total weight 4 Kg. Analogue Video Transmitter and commercial RC controls. Carbon fibre chassis. Organic flexible design providing very good handling on broken terrain thanks to flexibility of column. No need for suspensions. Medium ruggedization.
• The Macroswiss Hydrobot is a concept of a remotely operated submarine robot designed for shallow marine and freshwater surveillance activity (up to 30 mt.). • The Hydrobot has a dual camera system, one which is underwater, and one which is above water in the surface antenna. • The surface antenna is hidden in a floating decoy (seagull shaped for marine use and duck shaped for freshwater) that makes the Hydrobot undetectable from the surface.

  • 3. 1999-2008 Unmanned Vehicles micro ROV “Maggie” Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience • Date: 1999 • Status: Prototype • Units made: 1 First Macroswiss Robot, used directly exposed halogen lamps tested in in- house hyperbaric chamber to 300 ATM. Syntactic foam (manufactured in house) also tested to 300 ATM and used as structure. Total weight 4 Kg. Tethered ROV. Field tested to 400 mt depth.
  • 4. Design, Prototyping and Production Past Experience Developed between 1999 and 2001 the MACROSWISS “Maggie” ROV was the last ROV prototype manufactured by Macroswiss. This innovative, 3000 mt proof, system used resin-sealed brushless motors to avoid issues of formation of carbon clinkers in oil pressure- compensated electric brush motors. The unit was entirely developed in Macroswiss, has a weight of around 7 Kg and lights for 200 W of halogen bulbs. The engine configuration granted this prototype very good maneuvrability which was useful in operating in tight areas. The “Maggie” ROV has a carbon fibre chassis which integrates syntactic foam (4000 mt proof polyurethane-encased hollow glass microspheres) as part of the structure, reducing in this way both weight and size. The 200 W lights are directly exposed to the external pressure since the shape and strength of the quartz glass bulb is sufficient to resist depths far exceeding the maximum oceanic depth.

  • 8. • The Macroswiss Hydrobot is a concept of a remotely operated submarine robot designed for shallow marine and freshwater surveillance activity (up to 30 mt.). • The Hydrobot has a dual camera system, one which is underwater, and one which is above water in the surface antenna. • The surface antenna is hidden in a floating decoy (seagull shaped for marine use and duck shaped for freshwater) that makes the Hydrobot undetectable from the surface.
