A inspection robot that can automatically avoid obstacles such as eaves and windows to ensure worker safety and address labor shortages! It is also capable of close visual inspection using cameras and detecting floating issues with a tapping device.
This is a robot developed through joint research between Toyohashi University of Technology and Sanshin Kenzai Kogyo, designed to ascend and descend exterior walls for inspections. The development concept focuses on ensuring the safety of workers, addressing labor shortages, digitizing inspections and surveys, and securing flexibility in application through modularization. Currently, we are conducting verification tests with the aim of commercialization.
【Development Concept】
