Semi-autonomous control of a throwable miniature reconnaissance robot with environment perception

Secret reconnaissance in spatially constrained spot is demanded in many antiterrorism activities. So we propose a Throwable Miniature Reconnaissance Robot BMS-2(BIT MicroScout-2). BMS-2 has the character of small size and light weigh and the ability of attenuating the landing impact regardless of orientation, which is easy to deploy, such as thrown deployment??and can be satisfied with the demand.
