About the category

What it is and what it is for

Quadruped robots can also handle stairs, thresholds and uneven ground where wheels reach their limits. Equipped with cameras, thermal, gas or acoustic sensors, they take over recurring inspection rounds in facilities. Smaller models serve as open platforms for research and teaching.

Typical uses in business

  • Inspection rounds in chemicals, energy and utilities: reading gauges, detecting leaks and heat.
  • Documenting and surveying construction sites and buildings.
  • Missions in areas that are dangerous for people.
  • Research on locomotion and robot learning.

What businesses should check before buying

  1. Payload and connectors for sensors, runtime per battery charge.
  2. Ingress protection and approval for the environment, e.g. dust, water or explosive atmospheres.
  3. Autonomy: learning routes, self-docking, integration with the control room or maintenance.
  4. For research: SDK, ROS 2 and a simulation model.

Integration & effortEffort: medium

Routes are taught once, after which the robot runs them on its own. Effort comes from feeding readings into maintenance or the control room, Wi-Fi or mobile coverage on site and, where needed, explosion protection. Research platforms need their own programming.
