Rugged, reliable robots for extreme environments
Autonomous inspection robots certified for potentially explosive facilities. They gather data, inspect assets and detect emissions — safely and remotely, in any weather, around the clock.
Deployed by the world's largest energy operators

One robot. Four critical jobs.
From routine data gathering to emergency response, ExRobotics takes people out of harm's way while raising the quality of your data.
Gather data
Autonomous rounds collect readings from thousands of points of interest — gauges, dials, valves and displays — on a fixed schedule.
Inspect facilities
Replace manual operator rounds with consistent, repeatable inspections that never skip a step and log everything automatically.
Detect fugitive emissions
Locate and quantify methane and gas leaks early with onboard optical and acoustic sensing to cut greenhouse impact.
Respond to incidents
Send a robot instead of a person into hazardous areas to assess alarms, spills and abnormal conditions in real time.
Configure it for the mission
The platform is modular. We partner with best-in-class sensor makers so you can deploy exactly the right instruments for your site.
- FLIR thermal IR cameras for temperature measurement
- Motion amplification camera for vibration analysis
- Ultrasonic dongle for wall-thickness measurement
- Acoustic camera for leak and fault detection
- Gas detection sensors for multiple hazardous gases
- Autonomous induction charging on a certified dock
They've shrugged off European winters, Singaporean rain and Middle Eastern heat.

“On a facility producing 100,000 bbls/day at $60/bbl, saving just two days of production a year is worth $12 millionin annual revenue — before counting the cost of mobilising people.”
The economics of predictive maintenance
Deep expertise in Ex-certified robotics
Our mission is to create value from the market for Ex-certified robots — so that we see our robots operating on major industrial facilities around the world. Our understanding of certified robotics underpins everything we do, built on a culture of trust, teamwork and no harm.
Headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands, we design, build and support every robot in-house alongside our software partner.
