Introducing The FLX BOT
The smallest, most customizable, most affordable snake-like robot in the world.
Modular
Patented design with uniform, interchangeable links
Miniature
1" diameter is 3x - 5x smaller than any other on the market
Intelligent
On-board cameras and sensors allow the FLX BOT to map and avoid obstacles
Flexible End Effectors
Connect a variety of interchangeable heads
MODULAR
Configured using 3 to 5 individual links. These flexible configurations create variable use cases for different functions and customer markets.
MINIATURE
Size matters. At 1" in diameter, The FLX BOT can enter enclosed, difficult to navigate spaces that conventional solutions and the much larger snake-like robots in the market cannot.
CUSTOMIZABLE
End effectors can be easily swapped out depending on need. Examples include 360 camera, 3D scanner, Ultrasonic NDT, gripper, microphone and many more.
AFFORDABLE
Link uniformity greatly reduces production time and cost which results in a customer price that is an order of magnitude less than other robots on the market today.
INTELLIGENT
Cameras power 3D mapping, which when paired with our software operating system makes it simple for users to navigate in unknown spaces.
MOVEMENT
The FLX BOT can be handheld or mounted on the end of a pole allowing an operator to easily maneuver the system into place
FLX BOT
Robotics for Operations & Maintenance
Improve manufacturing uptime by allowing maintenance teams to quickly and easily inspect hard-to-reach areas within machinery. The FLX BOT provides clear visibility, precision control, and automatic obstacle avoidance so you can navigate to and identify any issues early on, reducing unplanned downtime and shortening recovery from faults.
FLX BOT acts as an extension of the human arm. Users can identify failing bearings without the need for a ladder, or monitor wear on material handling equipment preventing potential downtime or extended servicing. Push a button, flip a switch, read a serial number, or grab a wire, all without the need to enter a confined space or stop production.
