IGUANA is a robot with electric motorization of 50 kg with a payload of 40 kg. It can be equipped with multi-axis arms with extended capacities (6 or 8 axes), it has 2 day / night color cameras. With a horizontal reach of up to 1.8 m and a vertical reach up to 2.8 m, IGUANA can lift up to 20 kg with a stamina of 2.5 hours and a maximum speed of 6 km / h.
This robot will equip the French Armies: ECA Group has won a contract worth more than € 30 million for the supply of land-based robots (IGUANA) for demining at the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
