Security
OC Robotics has worked with both the US Department of Defense and the UK Ministry of Defence on technologies that demonstrate the advantages of snake-arms in hazardous situations.
Snake-arms for security
OC Robotics has developed snake-arm robots for remote vehicle inspection as well as portable endoscopes.
Security case study
Ministry of Defence
OCRobotics signed a contract with the UK MoD to build a snake-arm robot to be used on a remote vehicle. The arm had to be 2.5m long and able to carry apayload of 25kg. It also had to be capable of towing a car
