Abstract
This paper presents a miniature robotic system ('scout') useful for reconnaissance and surveillance missions. A large number of scout robots are deployed and controlled by humans and/or larger 'ranger' robots. The specially designed and constructed scouts are extremely small (roughly 116cc volume) yet are readily deployable (by tossing or launching), have multiple mobility modes, have multiple sensing capabilities, can transmit and receive data and instructions, and have a limited capability for autonomous action. The rangers are significantly larger vehicles, based on a commercial-off-the-shelf platform, augmented with scout launchers, radios, and additional sensors. Together, the scouts and rangers form a hierarchical team capable of carrying our complex missions in a wide variety of environments.
