In the last month PILOTING released an online series called "Meet our inspection robots", which is being broadcasted in Youtube.

 

The first episode of "Meet our robots" showed the features of the UAV platform Aerox (developed by FADA-CATEC). This week everybody can watch the 2nd episode focused on the CART Robot, a robotic platform developed by Robotnik Automation. This project partner is researching and developing the features and applications of ground robots in inspection and maintenance tasks related to refineries and tunnels uses cases.

 

Regarding the description of this 2nd episode, "the variety of inspection and maintenance operations considered within the project requires the use of different robotic systems. A series of robotic vehicles from PILOTING partners has been adapted/developed and integrated within the PILOTING I&M platform."
