Foccus Innovation details pipe-rehabilitation robot prototype
Foccus Innovation documented a functional earthworm-inspired prototype for trenchless sewer-pipe rehabilitation.
Evidence notes
- The robot uses more than 12 brushed and brushless drive units to reproduce segmented peristaltic movement.
- Its controller supplies vibration feedback and high-resolution 4K imagery to the operator.
- maxon supported drive selection and supplied motors for prototype testing through its Young Engineers Program.
Company context
Foccus Innovation develops fully electric robotic systems for sewer-pipe rehabilitation under the Pipe Robotics brand.
