PETROBOT Project

The PETROBOT project aims to develop a series of robots which can be used by inspectors to conduct remote inspection of pressure vessels and storage tanks widely used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry. The objective of the PETROBOT project is minimize the exposure of personnel to potentially hazardous conditions, reduce downtime and save resources by using robotic technology for asset inspection, which is long and costly. PETROBOT is supported by an EU grant from the FP7 Robotics program. The project was started on September 1st, 2013 and has a duration of three years. For more information, please see our website.
