The $1/Hour Robot Is Coming: Four Industry Leaders Explain What’s Next
"Most importantly, we have a robot now that goes into explosive atmospheres where there's, you know, in oil and gas and chemicals, methane in the air. You're not allowed to, you know, create a spark. So, we built a special robot that's guaranteed not to create a spark."
Dr Peter Funkhouser, co-founder and CEO of Anybotics, says the company has developed a four-legged inspection robot designed to operate in explosive atmospheres such as oil, gas and chemical facilities where methane may be present. He says the robot is engineered to avoid creating sparks, positioning it for hazardous-site monitoring where human access can be restricted or dangerous.
