It can enter tight spaces, climb and navigate obstacles. Have you met our snake-like robot INACHUS?

This video showcases SINTEF's latest progress with the development of the INACHUS robot.
The distinctive robot design allows it to enter tight spaces while maintaining the ability to climb and navigate obstacles. Additionally, the elongated and slender structure enhances the robot's capacity to deploy multiple sensors in areas that would otherwise be unreachable. The adaptability of the robot's payload to specific tasks is achieved by attaching or detaching "wagons" as needed.
The INACHUS robot was initially created for Search and Rescue purposes as part of the FP7 European INACHUS project projects.resea...
Following the conclusion of the European project, SINTEF funded an internal project (SEP 2023 INACHUS 2.0) to enable researchers to expand the robot's capabilities into the broader domain of Inspection and Maintenance. The robot features dual power supply options-either through a wire or a battery. It is equipped to communicate with one or more remote computers via wired or wireless networks. The standardized module design facilitates straightforward customization of the payload and seamless integration of sensors.
