ExRobotics is the leading expert in developing rugged reliable robots for harsh environments that require ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certification. These ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certified robots will be the new benchmark for inspecting and surveying potentially explosive facilities. They are equipped with a range of sensors and cameras that use a wireless network to communicate with a driver/ operator located in a safe control room.

FOR INCIDENTS WHERE EXPLOSIVE GAS MAY BE PRESENT

Responding to events, such as gas leaks, is traditionally a very dangerous task. It requires breathing apparatus, protective clothing and a large safety hazard for the members of the emergency response team. Our first responder robots make it possible to reduce that risk and are specially designed to act in a similar way to bomb-disposal robots.

The first responder is typically deployed from an emergency response truck and driven at short range using a pad controller. It acts as the eyes, ears and nose of the emergency response team keeping them away from the hazard during the early phases of an investigation. The ExR-1 first responder is unique in that it is Ex certified and won’t trigger an explosion if hydrocarbon gas is present.
