Corsa Research & Development

Modular Robotic Platform

overview

The Corsa Research & Development modular robotic platform makes strenuous and dangerous tasks simple and effortless. From clearing driveways and sidewalks of snow and debris to transporting heavy loads around the home or farm, the robot does all the work for you safely and with precision.

The industrial strength TIG welded aluminum and steel construction allows the robot to transport loads of 500+ pounds on its top deck. Generous amounts of torque allows the robot to tow 10,000 pounds and the 4 wheel drive system gives it the ability to traverse the most challenging terrain. With all of this capability the robot maintains the ability to turn a full 360 degrees within its own wheel base and the precision to navigate through door ways and spaces for people.

In addition to the impressive specifications, the robots ability to have multiple tools and accessories quickly and easily attached to enhance its capabilities and allow the robot to take on and endless number of tasks.
