Why RoBoa?
RoBoa offers significant advantages compared to existing systems!
Its small, soft, and pneumatic design enables maneuverability over long lengths, easy to operate and safe by design.
Thanks to its modular architecture, RoBoa works in different environments and collects custom data.
Process Pipes
Nowadays, process pipes must be emptied completely to operational safety during inspection. Today’s large and rigid robots destroy delicate surfaces and cannot inspect along tight corners and intersections.
RoBoa offers efficient in-pipe inspections that minimize downtime and maximize plant productivity in the water, food, pharma, and petrochemical industry.
Sewers
Through its active locomotion and steering system, RoBoa reaches much further into sewers than traditional push cameras.
RoBoa visually inspects and can perform maintenance tasks.
Search & Rescue
RoBoa allows rescue troops to faster and safer search, localize, supply, and save victims, e.g., after an earthquake.
RoBoa is tested continuously together with the Swiss Rescue Troops at their training site.
Exploration
RoBoa explores unknown environments with caves, holes and tunnels to collect video and three-dimensional data.
