OC Robotics off to the Palace

Mon, 13 Jul 2009

Two representatives from Bristol-based OC Robotics are to visit Buckingham Palace on Monday 13th July 2009 after the firm was awarded the equivalent of a company knighthood in this year's Queen's Awards for Enterprise.

Andrew Graham, Technical Director, and Mariusz Lichon, Senior Robotics Scientist, will attend a special evening reception for 2009 Queen's Award winners, to be hosted by Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the Royal Family.

OC Robotics won its Queen's Award in the Innovation category in April this year. The company specialises in snake-arm robots for confined spaces and was commended for making complex, many-jointed manipulators a commercial reality.

In the last 8 years OC Robotics has grown from a 2-person start-up in a garage to an 18-person company selling robots in Europe, USA and Canada. OC Robotics has worked with some of the largest companies in the world across aerospace, defence, nuclear and other industries building snake-arm robots for a wide range of applications.
