Problem
Performing tasks at height traditionally requires specialized equipment like ladders or aerial work platforms, which can be cumbersome and pose significant safety risks to personnel. This necessitates complex safety protocols and limits operational efficiency in environments where access is challenging.
Solution
Discov.io offers a robotic system designed to enable ground-level operation for work-at-heights tasks, enhancing both safety and efficiency. The core technology involves a robotic latching platform that can be mounted on drones or telescoping extension poles. This platform securely affixes IoT sensors, modules, or other equipment to structural elements from a safe distance. The system's latching mechanism is adaptable to various geometric shapes and can be remotely disengaged without causing substrate damage, allowing for repeatable and cost-effective deployment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries such as construction and energy, as well as organizations requiring the installation and maintenance of equipment in elevated or difficult-to-access locations.
Features
- Drone-mounted and telescoping pole-mounted robotic latching platform for versatile deployment.
- Secure attachment mechanism adaptable to round, square, triangular, and other structural geometries.
- Remote de-latching capability without substrate damage.
- High degree of 3D-printable components, enabling cost reduction and rapid prototyping.
- Designed for secure mounting of IoT sensors, modules, and various tools.
- Enables remote installation and maintenance of equipment at elevated positions.
