Projektbeschreibung

RoBoa is an innovative robot designed to revolutionize operations in confined spaces and go where no human, drone, or other robot can go!
Using a special, growing-based locomotion, RoBoa can navigate confined, cluttered, winding, and slippery environments that are otherwise inaccessible. The modular, snake-like robot excels in applications ranging from industrial inspections of pipes and sewers to search and rescue missions, e.g., after earthquakes. Having demonstrated its capabilities through multiple proof-of-concept and pilot tests, RoBoa is now set to transition from a prototype to a market-ready product. The InnoBooster funding will be crucial for execting pilot projects and developing a beta product, thus accelerating RoBoa's market entry and serving as the foundation for expanding into further applications to enhance safety and efficiency in confined spaces across industries.

Stand/Resultate

With InnoBooster, we will engage in larger pilot projects to validate our robotic technology for confined spaces. We will improve our newest prototype and engage closely with customers. InnoBooster wil support us in transition from the research project into the company and scale our manufacturing capabilities to accelerate RoBoa’s market entry.
