Soryu-C — Explore harsh environments
With high-torque traction modules, Soryu-C is able to move as far as 100m from the entrance point through mud, water, sand and over debris.
Soryu-C slender snake
Soryu-C is a slender snake-like robot, designed for remote operation in uneven and unstructured environments. It can be inserted through openings as small as Ø100mm, and move over highly irregular surfaces. The traction modules are sealed against dust and water, making Soryu-C able to operate in mud, water, sand and over debris. The main unit is equipped with two high-definition cameras that can be used for navigation and inspection of confined spaces.
One example of application is inspection of underground pipes. Soryu-C is lowered through a small vertical pipe by a semi-autonomous reel, until it reaches a pluvial drainage pipe. Then, Soryu-C moves against the flowing water, inside mud and overcoming rocks and other obstacles, while acquiring images of the pipe wall with its high-definition cameras.
With its high-torque traction modules and smart control of the tether tension, Soryu-C is able to move as far as 100m from the entrance point.
