Recovery robotics adds the ability to retrieve a damaged or immobilised platform without creating another hazardous human run. It turns separate machines into a more resilient operating and repair loop.
Mission context
The task includes identifying the target, approach, mechanical connection, pulling, route control and safe release. Object mass is only one parameter; resistance, surface, geometry and access also matter.
Engineering approach
HARDY treats recovery as a combination of base platform, winch or other module, standard attachment points and an operator procedure. Interfaces should support repair and repeat testing.
What must be demonstrated
A recovery module must demonstrate the full loaded cycle.
- connection and release in defined conditions;
- pulling force, stability and thermal control;
- return of the object along a defined route without damaging the carrier.
Limits and responsible claims
This public page does not disclose tactics, routes or unit-specific configurations. A towing mass without surface and condition context is not sufficient evidence.
