ROBOTS SPECIFICS

All robots supplied by ExRobotics are certified for use in IECEx and ATEX Zone 1 areas:

• A Zone 1 area is classified as a place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air or flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.
• IECEx is an international standard that covers many countries around the World.
• ATEX is the European equivalent of that standard.
• In the future we intend to certify our robots for onshore USA (Class/Division), Russia and Euro-Asia (GOST) and Brazil (INMETRO).
• They’re currently certified for use in temperatures between -20C and +50C. We plan to increase this range to -40C to +60C.
• They’re certified for IIB environments (ethylene and similar) and have a temperature class of T4 (maximum surface temperature 135C).
• Although the robots are rated IP54 (dust protected , splashing water resistant) the individual modules within the robot are water-proof. The robot can be deployed in torrential rain, snow, and very high humidity conditions.

Our robots are rugged and reliable:

• They have few moving parts, incorporate high quality parts from well-respected suppliers, and are designed to operate without human intervention for 6 months.
• They’ve been used in marine, arctic, desert, temperate and tropical climates.
• Our objective is to repair or replace any defective robot within 2 weeks.
• Our engineers monitor their condition using this fleet status screen:

Each customer typically has a Fleet Manager that can control access to his/her company’s fleet of robots. Each user can be allocated a role. We’re progressively increasing the roles that are available with the aim of having:

• Drivers that control robots.
• Viewers that can see the robot’s video-streams, listen to its microphones, and see the gas concentrations it’s detecting.
• Planners that can programme autonomous tasks and missions.
• Engineers that are typically ExRobotics’ personnel that monitor each robot’s condition.

There are various ways of connecting to a robot but the standard approach is to connect using the internet as illustrated below.

Our robot system includes a range of simple-to-use cloud software:

Fleet Management: Gives an overview of and provides access to all of the robots in a fleet.

Remote Control: Used to drive a robot and use its cameras and sensors.

Mission Editor: Used to programme autonomous missions.

Mission Report: Gathers mission data in the cloud.

User Management: Allows managers to grant access to the robots in their fleet.
