Physalis Geo-Lab
————————————————————————————–
Physalis Geo-Lab is autonomous active terrain
exploration and monitoring robotic platform
developed by Physalis Labs to assist scientists
in making reliable measurements both manually
and in autonomous mode.
Physalis Geo-Lab has been designed to withstand
harsh environment and weather conditions. Once
deployed it will start exploring the terrain and
make measurements according to the program,
(Autonomous mode), or remotely controlled via
operator (manual mode).
Physalis Geo-Lab can be used to track the
vibrations with high-precision and therefore
can be on guard in areas where earthquakes
often occur.
Payload
——————————————————————————–
Physalis Geo-Lab can carry payload of several
kilograms. It can be measurement equipment,
sensors, robotic arms, area mapping devices
and depth cameras.
At its core, the platform has been designed having
high level of customization in mind. This feature
enables Physalis Geo-Lab to be used in various areas.
The modular design makes it possible to add needed
Functionality right away or remove it.
Further, enabling access for other developers and
scientific groups to develop and add their own API’s
and modules to it.

It is a long established fact that a reader
will be distracted by the readable content
of a page when looking at its layout.
The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it
has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters
as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’,
making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors
now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a
search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites
