FLUID WIRE ROBOTICS ARCHITECTURE
Remote actuation for robots built to survive hazardous environments.
DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
Conventional robots expose complexity across every joint. Fluid Wire Robotics centralises it in one protected Actuation Box.
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
- Motors, sensors and electronics distributed across the joints
- Critical components exposed to the operating environment
- Protection required at every joint
- Higher mass, complexity and maintenance burden
FLUID-WIRE APPROACH
- Motors, sensors and electronics protected inside the Actuation Box
- Motion and force transmitted through sealed Fluid Wires
- Lightweight, passive arm operating in the harsh environment
- Shielding, cooling and maintenance handled in one accessible unit
How OUR ROBOTIC PLATFORM Works
One robotic platform, built around three components that keep critical technology protected from harsh environments.
REMOTE Control Unit (RCU)
Electric motors, sensors and control hardware generate and regulate motion inside a protected enclosure.
Fluid Wire Transmission
Sealed fluidic lines transmit motion and force from the RCU to the robotic joints.
ROBOTIC PLATFORM
Lightweight, electronics-free robotic structure operating directly in the harsh environment.
WHAT
FLUID WIRE ENABLEs
ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE
- Critical components protected outside the exposed arm
- No distributed electronics across the robotic joints
- Simplified shielding, sealing and thermal management
LIGHTWEIGHT ROBOTIC ARMS
- Lower mass and inertia at the arm
- Faster and more responsive motion
- Safer contact with objects and structures
FORCE CONTROL AND PRECISE MOVEMENT
- Precise position and force control
- Backdrivable and contact-sensitive joints
- Built for teleoperation, supervised autonomy and autonomous tasks
MODULAR AND SERVICEABLE
- Configurable reach, payload and degrees of freedom
- Shared architecture across different product variants
- Accessible critical components for easier servicing
PROVEN IN HARSH CONDITIONS
Our Fluid Wire Technology has been tested in the environments where conventional robotic systems struggle to operate.
