Autonomous Ground robot with navigation and manipulation capabilities

Short description

Tekniker has several robotic equipments (mobile base and manipulators) with autonomous capabilities that can be used to perform different inspection operations.

  • Reach specific points (e.g. for mirror reflectivity measurement by means of the precise positioning of conventional reflectometers).
  • Follow a path (e.g. looking for loss of vacuum in collector pipes, broken mirrors).
