The Alberobotics technologies are being extensively applied in public as well as private research and development projects. Some examples are detailed below.
The CENTAURO robot is the result of more than 10 years of evolution in the field of legged mobile robot design, which has also spawned the renowned COMAN and WALK-MAN robots. The CENTAURO robot is a hybrid legged/wheeled bi-manipulation system that can overcome gaps and obstacles, but attraverses levelled terrain most efficiently using wheeled locomotion. It is entirely powered by the Alberobotics integrated actuators.
Robots are not only expected to move around to passively observe the environment for pure inspection tasks. Their true value emerges from their capabilities to also to actively manipulate remote environments for maintenance purpose. The depicted example is a 5 degree-of-freedom system, which was designed as a contribution to a project with the Istituto Nazionale Infortuni sul Lavoro (INAIL). It is powered by the Alberobotics integrated actuation technologies.
