Overview
The PTZ-Lite Optical & Thermal Payload is a compact dual-sensor imaging module designed to provide real-time situational awareness for HawkRobo robotic platforms.
The system integrates a 2K visible light camera and a thermal imaging sensor mounted on a stabilized three-axis gimbal, enabling operators to monitor environments in both normal and low-visibility conditions.
The lightweight design allows mobile robotic platforms to perform remote surveillance, inspection, search and rescue, and thermal monitoring missions while maintaining stable video output during robot movement.
