"Critical intelligence on critical infrastructure"
Leeds, UK robotics spinout from the University of Leeds; builds the Squirrel and Stoat climbing robots for inspecting metal structures untethered to 500 meters.
Acuity Robotics is a robotics company headquartered at Unit 01, Flexspace Albion Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, formed as a spinout of the Real Robotics laboratory at the University of Leeds and based at the National Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems.
The company builds two compact, remotely operated climbing robots for inspecting metallic structures that are difficult or unsafe for people to reach. The Squirrel is a six-wheeled platform weighing 4.1 kg with dimensions of 400 by 180 by 170 mm; it climbs monopoles, telescopic poles, wind turbine towers, ducting, and pipes, carries a 1080p HD and thermal camera turret plus interchangeable EMAT (electromagnetic acoustic transducer) and IMU sensors for wall-thickness measurement, operates untethered to a range of 500 meters, and runs for about 70 minutes on a 4,200 mAh lithium-ion battery while streaming video to an operator headset at 28 milliseconds of latency. The lighter four-wheeled Stoat, at 1.6 kg and 185 by 130 by 175 mm, is built for internal monopole and pipe inspection, carries the same 1080p HD and thermal camera plus IMU, and runs about 30 minutes on a 2,600 mAh battery.
Inspection data from both robots feeds into the company's ARIID (Infrastructure Insights Data Dashboard) software, which produces asset condition reports and predictive-maintenance analytics for remote engineering teams.
