Overview

Soryu-C is a slender snake-like robot, designed for remote operation in uneven and unstructured environments. It can be inserted through openings as small as Ø100mm, and move over highly irregular surfaces. The traction modules are sealed against dust and water, making Soryu-C able to operate in mud, water, sand, and over debris. The main unit is equipped with two high-definition cameras that can be used for navigation and inspection of confined spaces.
