Overview
Float Arm is hibot’s new snake manipulator, designed for long-reach applications in confined spaces. With hibot’s proprietary snake-motion control and unique self-balancing mechanism, it is able to navigate in complex environments and acquire detailed data for inspection and maintenance. Float Arm is lightweight, fast and highly portable, making it an ideal tool for integration with other systems already in operation in the field, or simply as a stand-alone inspection device.
