Page 1 of 3 Selected Use cases
MAINBOT proposes the use of mobile platforms for inspection tasks in large areas and vertical infrastructures. A set of application scenarios that cover the general requirements of the maintenance activities in large industries have been selected.
The ground robot has to move in a large area, the solar field, and it has to reach different inspection areas in the plant and stop at pre-established points. The climbing robot has to move in a vertical structure, a tower, and it has to reach different inspection points and stop at pre-established points.
