RoBoa AG, headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, is at the forefront of a new wave of robotics designed to tackle some of the most challenging and dangerous environments faced by industry and emergency responders. The company's flagship technology is a uniquely engineered robot capable of navigating confined spaces that are otherwise inaccessible to humans, drones, or conventional robots. With a slender, modular design that can extend up to 100 meters in length and a diameter as small as 5 to 10 centimeters, RoBoa's system is equipped with 3D steering and 3D vision capabilities, allowing it to maneuver through complex, hazardous, or collapsed environments with precision. This makes it an invaluable tool for search and rescue operations in disaster zones, where reaching trapped victims quickly can mean the difference between life and death.
Beyond emergency scenarios, RoBoa's robots are also tailored for industrial plant inspections, helping operators minimize downtime and enhance operational safety by reaching and assessing areas that would otherwise require dangerous manual entry or costly plant shutdowns. The robot's ability to operate safely in explosive atmospheres, provide real-time communication, and even deliver liquids underscores its versatility and the breadth of potential applications. As a young and dynamic team, RoBoa AG is advancing the boundaries of what is possible in robotics, combining cutting-edge technology with a mission-driven focus on saving lives and improving safety across industries. Their work not only exemplifies innovation in robotics but also demonstrates a commitment to building safer, more resilient infrastructure and communities
