Float Arm - long-reach snake manipulator
Float Arm is hibot’s new snake manipulator, designed forlong-reach applications in confined spaces. With hibot's
proprietary snake-motion control and unique self-balancing
mechanism, it is able to navigate in complex environments
and acquire detailed data for inspection and maintenance.

CAMERASUT SENSORSTHERMO VISION

Float Arm is lightweight, fast and highly portable, making it
an ideal tool for integration with other systems already inoperation in the field, or simply as a stand-alone inspection
device.
