IN 2007 the company International Climbing Machines (ICM) introduced a robotic climber Climber, able to work on the walls and rounded surfaces, using patented mounting system. Through 8 interested in developing this years US Navy command.
Navy Department intends to use this type of robot to remove radiopohlynayuchoyi special rubber membrane with nuclear submarines. Previously, this work had to manually perform almost, which was associated with high physical costs, hazard and toxicity.
Currently being tested to adapt robotic climber Climber to perform these functions. Remotely controlled work will move through walls, ceilings and rounded surfaces, using a unique system of "sticking", which allows the unit weight 13,6 move kg, having a weight 152 kg.
As a result, of, managed operator, save time, financial expenses, and deprived tens of workers from having to risk their lives.
