Autonomous navigation and remote driving
2D/3D LiDAR, ultrasonic and proximity sensors support mapping, localization and obstacle avoidance. Autonomous, remote driving and local control modes require safety arbitration when switching.
Wheeled inspection platform · Customizable
Explosion-Proof Inspection Robot
Remote driving and autonomous inspection for equipment and environmental monitoring
A customizable wheeled inspection platform for petrochemical plants, chemical parks, oil and gas/LNG facilities, tank farms and hazardous-material warehouses. The architecture combines explosion-protected motion, Tosci 5G remote control, autonomous navigation, AI vision, thermal imaging and gas detection.
- Petrochemical plants
- Chemical parks
- Oil and gas / LNG
- Tank farms
- Hazardous-material warehouses
The final explosion-protection rating depends on the target site and certification body. IP65 / IP66 are design targets, subject to testing of the complete robot.
Equipment inspection and environmental monitoring
AI visual inspection
Inspect instrument readings, indicator lights, valve states, leaks, smoke, fire and personal protective equipment (PPE), with a combination of edge AI and cloud models.
Thermal imaging
Detect temperature rises in pumps, motors, pipelines and electrical distribution equipment. Recommended resolution starts at 384×288, with 640×512 available as a higher-specification option.
Modular gas detection
Configure CH4, H2S, CO, O2 or VOC detection modules for site-specific leak detection and environmental safety monitoring.
Protection designed around the operating environment
- Explosion-protection design target
- Zone 1 / Zone 2
- Assess the complete robot against the site's Zone 1 / Zone 2 gas-atmosphere requirements. The final rating depends on the target customer environment and certification body.
- Ingress-protection design target
- IP65 / IP66
- These are design targets. The final ingress-protection rating is subject to testing of the complete robot.
Configuration and capabilities
Combine detection modules and optional mechanisms for the inspection task. Confirm protection requirements as part of the complete robot design.
