OC Robotics

Snake-arm robots for confined and hazardous space operations

OC Robotics develops snake-arm robots, slender hyper-redundant manipulators with high degrees of freedom for navigating confined or hazardous spaces. The Explorer model, launched around 2009, features independently controlled joints, diameters down to 10 mm, payloads up to 20 kg, and supports tools like cameras, lasers, grippers, and sensors. Customers include aerospace (aircraft assembly), nuclear (decommissioning), security (counter-terrorism), and other sectors for inspection and maintenance. Based in UK.
