On-site Material Transport

Carry tools, materials, and small equipment across temporary roads and uneven ground. Use wheeled units on flat sections and legged ones on rough terrain.

Core functions

Indoor-outdoor autonomous travel and shuttle runs on set routes
Legged units that clear steps, stairs, and mud (20–45 kg payload)
Hundreds of kg via deck or towing (wheeled units)

Customer value

Less hand-carrying so tradespeople spend time on skilled work
Lower back-injury and trip risks from carrying loads
Night-time staging shortens next-morning setup

Check before deploying

Route surface (gravel, mud, steps) and slope
Load per trip, its form, and who handles loading and unloading

Selected Robots

Hand-picked for this work, with the reason each one fits. "PoC" marks robots to validate in a limited trial first.

Manufacturing / Logistics

Mitsubishi Electric group orders about 100 Cartken Haulers for industrial sites

Challenge

Industrial sites facing labor shortages needed to reduce manual inter-building transport.

Deployment

Melco Mobility Solutions, a Mitsubishi Electric group company, ordered about 100 units for deployment at industrial sites in Japan.

Outcome

Aims to automate inter-building transport with a 300 kg, all-weather, slope-capable robot.

Substation Inspection · Jueying X30

−2/3inspection cycle

Power UtilityChina

State Grid Linyi deploys a quadruped + wheeled-legged inspection team at a 220 kV substation

Challenge

Manual rounds for gauge reading and infrared thermography limited inspection frequency and consistency across a large substation.

Deployment

X30 (precise inspection) and Lynx M20 (rapid patrol) at the 220 kV Xianggong substation in Linyi; IP67, −20 to 55 °C.

Outcome

Inspection cycle cut by two-thirds; in the maker's utility deployments a round takes under 35 min (vs. ~2 h manual) with >98% meter recognition.

An SP Group inspector with the X30 "SPock" in a cable tunnel

Power Cable Tunnel · Jueying X30

480hours / year saved (est.)

Power UtilitySingapore

Singapore's SP Group deploys the X30 "SPock" to inspect its underground power cable tunnel

Challenge

Manual tunnel inspections took 2–3 hours and up to 6 km of walking, with staff entering the tunnel.

Deployment

With local partner Eastern Green Power and 3–4 months of safety assessment, a pilot runs in the 40 km tunnel.

Outcome

Video and thermal imaging flag cracks and seepage with instant reports; 480 inspection hours/year saved (est.), wider rollout planned.
