Autonomous inspection, monitoring, and AI-powered data & insights for HVDC and high-voltage critical infrastructure

 
Ross Robotics EXTRM MK4 in HVDC Hall for Siemens Energy project

Gain critical insights to improve operations, avoid unplanned outages, disruption, lost revenue and penalties

Designed for High-Voltage

Ross Robotics EXTRM autonomous robotic platform provides 24/7 autonomous inspection & monitoring of high-voltage assets, even inside live operational HVDC valve halls and DC halls.

With independent lab-certified ultra-high EMF immunity, ultra-low EMF emissions, arc mitigation features, and a 12 month service interval, EXTRM is designed for the unique needs of HVDC operators.

Comprehensive Sensors & Data

Equipped with a comprehensive array of sensors and an AI-assisted data suite, EXTRM utilises optical, IR thermographic, audio, UV, and environmental data to give you real-time insights to improve operations and avoid unplanned outages.

Transition to renewable energy is critical to meet global climate change goals, and demands huge investment in high voltage infrastructure for long-distance transmission and grid resilience

HVDC Valve Halls & DC Halls

Designed specifically for the high EMF environments and high magnetic fields found in HCDV valve halls and DC halls, EXTRM is independently lab-certified to the highest EMF immunity and lowest EMF emissions.

Switching Stations & Substations

As well as world-leading EMF compatibility, EXTRM employs a modular drive system and autonomous location & mapping, allowing it to adapt to and navigate in physically challenging environments.

Other Harsh & Sensitive Environments

Designed for the most challenging EMF and magnetically charged environments, EXTRM has wide compatibility with many other complex and challenging environments. Contact us to discuss your challenge, and we’ll make an objective assessment of your needs.
