Robot Development for Confined Space Maintenance

  • Development of modular robot components that optimize reachability in individual use cases
  • Algorithms that allow safe & precise motions in challenging environments
  • Operation in different modes like teleoperation, automation and autonomy

Robotic Inspection and Repair Processes

  • Accurate localization and registration of sensor measurements at places that are difficult to reach for humans
  • Integration of task planning for automated inspection and repair sequences
  • Process transparency through continuous monitoring of the robot’s state and sensor data

Automated Acquisition and Processing of NDT Data

  • Gathering of reliable and high-quality data to allow non-destructive testing (NDT) diagnosis
  • Visualization of live data to operators in intuitive and comprehensible formats to facilitate effective teleoperation
  • Data exchange with digital twins including the location of defects in standard and open data formats
