AMREL revealed that the ROCKY RF10, the world’s only 17.1” fully rugged laptop, has been upgraded. Adding performance to a proven platform, AMREL has boosted the ROCKY RF10 with a powerful i7 processor, expanded memory, Solid State Drive option, and a faster graphics processing unit.
AMREL will be demonstrating its amazingly compact, fully rugged Slimline at ASNE Day.

SNEAK PREVIEW The new DK10 has quality you can see. We’ve upgraded the standard NITS rating, improved the graphic card, and added a night vision option. The processor is more powerful and the mobile broadband option offers a greater choice of carriers. Since we designed the DK10 to require minimal reconfiguring, upgrading your solution will be easy.

COMING SOON! The new ROCKY DR10 8.4-inch fully rugged tablet will be faster, brighter, and tougher. AMREL added a faster processor, brighten the display, improved the memory, and upped the battery power. We even added to ROCKY’s legendary ruggedness with an improved IP rating.

You may not have had a chance to see AMREL’s new interoperability capability at AUVSI, but you can read about it on your free download. Just as our Flexpedient® technology revolutionized OCUs for UGVs, we think interoperable Small Lightweight Expansion Devices (SLED) will become standard for handheld applications. Click here.
Utilizing UAVs for firefighting is well-known. This video demonstrates unmanned systems being used for fire investigations, a completely different application. The ease of determining the causes of fires is directly related to the view the investigators have of the burned trees. The perspective provided by high-definition cameras on small UAVs is close to ideal. I doubt that many developers could have predicted this particular use for unmanned systems. As unmanned systems diffuse into the civilian/commercial sector, we can expect more unexpected applications.
Update: This telepresence article inspired more than a few comments in LinkedIn discussion groups. With the authors’ permission, we are reposting comments made by Tandy Trower of Hoaloha Robotics, and Jim Gunderson of Gamma Two Robots.
“For certain types of scenarios, telepresence is very useful. For example, it has enabled us to explore the surface of Mars, inspect the nuclear reactor buildings in Japan, and enable soldiers to remotely defuse bombs. However, for business and personal/consumer scenarios it is much less clear if the value proposition works. Read more
Here we are, well into the second decade of a new millennium, and not only is there a conspicuous absence of jet packs, but also no robot butler made my breakfast this morning. Domestic robots are not completely unknown, of course. There’s the famous vacuuming Roomba, and home-based medical robots are starting to appear. Yet, while robots are ubiquitous in industry, and rapidly expanding in the military sphere, their presence in our homes is minimal. Read more
Faster, more powerful, and more flexible than earlier models, AMREL’s new RT9, RK9, and RF9 laptops are perfect for the data-heavy applications used by the military and public safety sectors.
“Every single upgrade in the new laptops was made in response to the critical needs of end users,” explains Ron McMahan, AMREL’s VP, Engineering Solutions. “Video streaming, biometric file transmission, mapping software, and other large footprint applications need greater shared system memory. So, AMREL has added options for up to 8GB memory as well as faster processors and a larger memory cache.” Read more
Of course, AMREL will be at the UAV WEST Summit! We’ll be there to talk about our interoperable OCU solutions, as wll as our super-light, super-powerful ROCKY DB6 handheld. Come see us at booth #211.
