Wall climbing robot can reduce workplace accidents
A wall climbing robot made by HausBots can reduce workplace accidents, as it can be used for inspection and maintenance tasks such as building and infrastructure inspection and surveying or even painting.
However, to make sure the robot itself would work and is safe to use researchers from the WMG SME group helped the local business design and test the robot
The robot is now on the market, after a four-year journey from a garage in Bournville to Singapore
A novel wall climbing robot, built designed and created by Birmingham based HausBots with the help of WMG at the University of Warwick is on the market, and could reduce the number of workplace accidents.
HausBots is a Birmingham based company who are on mission to use technology to protect and maintain the built environment. They have designed, built and created an innovative wall-climbing robot, that can climb vertical surfaces and be used for inspection and maintenance tasks such as building and infrastructure inspection and surveying or even painting.
The idea of the HausBots started in the co-founder’s garage, and with the help of the WMG SME team the robot was bought to life, as the team were able to help with building the prototype and testing the technology.
Four years ago, when the first prototype was developed researchers at WMG, University of Warwick worked with HausBots on the circuit motor controls and designed the system to help them get production ready thanks to the Product Innovation Accelerator scheme with CWLEP.
One the key uses of the HausBots is to help reduce the number of workplace accidents, in the US 85,000 workers fall from height every year, of which 700 of them will be fatal. The accidents also cost insurance companies over $1bn in claims every year, therefore not only does reducing the amount of accidents mean less injuries and trauma, but also means there’s a huge economic saving.
However, to ensure the robot itself doesn’t fall it had to undergo extensive electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) testing to make sure the fans, which essentially attach it to the surface arefunctioning correctly.
The WMG SME team tested the robot by placing it in the EMC chamber and assessing how it responds to noise and to make sure it didn’t emit any unwanted noise into the atmosphere itself. Using amplifiers to simulate noise and analysers, the researchers were able to detect any unwanted interference and emissions with the robot and record results.
Dr David Norman, from the WMG SME group at the University of Warwick comments:
“It has been a pleasure to be with HausBots and help them develop their product, the concept of the robot is incredible, and could save lives and reduce the number of workplace accidents.
“Our facilities and expertise have helped HausBots develop a market-ready product, which is now on the market and has carried out many jobs from painting and cleaning the graffiti off the spaghetti junction in Birmingham. We hope to continue working with them in the future and can’t wait to see where they are this time next year.”
Jack Crone, CEO and Co-Founder of HausBots comments:
“The WMG SME group have helped us from day one, by helping us build the prototype all the way to making sure the robot safely sticks to the wall and carries out its job efficiently.
“We have worked tirelessly over the last 3 years to make HausBot, and we are incredibly excited to have sold our first one to a company in Singapore, we hope this is the first of many that will also help reduce numbers of workplace accidents.
“Going forward we hope to continue our work with WMG at the University of Warwick to make more robots for other uses that can reduce harm to humans.”

Robot Operations Group Announces Plan For RobOpsCon 2022
A gathering of the global community of robotics and operations experts will advance the best practices for scaling the use of autonomous robots across industries
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 08, 2021
The Robot Operations Group, a global community of the top experts in scaling the application of advanced robotics, today announced the first-ever RobOpsCon will take place in October 2022 in Silicon Valley. The conference will bring together practitioners and a leading panel of multi-disciplinary speakers across industries, including logistics, supply chain, agriculture, hospitality and healthcare. Additional details will be announced shortly.
The Robot Operations Group, or ROG (pronounced “rogue”) has been meeting virtually for more than two years, with occasional in-person meetings as the pandemic allowed. With almost 150 members based across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, the group’s monthly virtual meetings and RobOps Masters interviews have included renowned experts such as Aaron Prather from FedEx, Lawrence Ibarria of Verdant Robotics and Daniel Theobald, Chief Innovation Officer and founder of Vecna Robotics.
The group’s Robot Operations Manifesto, an open-source document with contributions from many of its members, outlines the best practices for robot operations at scale. With RobOpsCon 2022, the growing community will have an opportunity to meet in person, learn from each other and explore the benefits of robotics in a broad range of applications, from material handling to agriculture to cleaning and sanitization.
“Being part of this community is a great way to realize the value of robotics,” said Florian Pestoni, CEO and co-founder of InOrbit and co-founder of ROG. “There are plenty of online groups and conferences for roboticists to learn how to build a robot, but there wasn’t one for people focused on scaling robots from 5 to 5,000 and beyond. Until now.”
At a recent Association for Advancing Automation (A3) AMR & Logistics conference in Memphis, TN, several ROG members met at an event sponsored by InOrbit and A3. The rapid exchange of ideas, the shared pain points and the different perspectives resulted in a lively discussion. RobOpsCon 2022 aims to take this to the next level.
“I was an active participant in conferences such as LISA, where systems administrators could learn from each other,” said Joe Wieciek, director of technical operations at Outrider and co-founder of ROG. “But when I transitioned from more traditional cloud systems to robotics, I found this was missing. With RobOpsCon 2022, we are continuing that tradition and helping people manage large robot fleets.”
“ROG has always enabled me to connect with innovators in the robot industry at an informal level. It’s not commercial, but the connections have opened a wealth of collaborative opportunities,” said Aldus von der Burg, CEO of Meili Robots and a ROG member based in Copenhagen. “RobOpsCon will be a chance for those in the industry, or even just curious about robot operations, to discuss and learn as a part of a growing and supportive robotics community.”
Participation in ROG’s Meetup group and monthly virtual meetings is free and open to everyone. Tickets for RobOpsCon will be available in June 2022 for the October event.

Freiheit für Gelenkarmroboter: 7. Achse von igus erweitert den Arbeitsraum um bis zu 400 Prozent
drylin Zahnriemenachse ist durch Plug & Play-Kit jetzt mit allen Leichtbau- Roboterherstellern kompatibel
Köln, 25. November 2021 – Gelenkarmroboter über sechs Meter verfahren und ihren Arbeitsraum dadurch vervierfachen: Die 7. Achse, die igus für diesen Job anbietet, ist dank eines einfachen Plug & Play-Kits ab sofort mit allen Leichtbau-Gelenkarm-Robotern weltweit kompatibel. Bislang profitierten von dieser erhöhten Mobilität Modelle von Universal Robots, Epson und der robolink Serie von igus. Jetzt kommen auch Omron, Franka Emika, Doosan, Yuanda Robotics und viele weitere Anbieter von Leichtbaurobotik hinzu.
Erste Anwender der sogenannten 7. Achse, eine Linearachse mit elektrischem Zahnriemenantrieb, die igus im Sommer 2020 auf den Markt gebracht hat, waren laut Alexander Mühlens begeistert: „Plötzlich sind ihre Gelenkarmroboter dank der zusätzlichen Achse ähnlich mobil wie Menschen. Sie sind dadurch in der Lage, in Automationsumgebungen mehrere Aufgaben zu übernehmen sind dadurch deutlich produktiver“, so der Leiter Automatisierungstechnik bei igus. „Wir haben uns deswegen entschlossen, die Kompatibilität des Systems auf alle Hersteller weltweit zu erweitern – etwa Omron, Franka Emika, Doosan und Yuanda Robotics. Die Anpassung ermöglichen wir durch ein passendes Plug & Play-Kit aus Hard- und Software.“
Anschlussfertige Komplettlösung für alle Leichtbau-Gelenkarmroboter
Zukünftig können alle Leichtbau-Gelenkarmroboter im Gewichtsbereich von 10 bis 50 Kilogramm oder, abhängig von der Dynamik, einer Nutzlast von 2 bis 20 Kilogramm die 7. Achse nutzen. igus liefert das System als anschlussfertige Komplettlösung aus einer Hand. Es besteht aus einer bis zu sechs Meter langen Zahnriemenachse der Serie drylin ZLW mit zwei Parallelschienen aus Aluminium, die sich auf dem Boden, an Wänden oder Decken befestigen lassen und einem Zahnriemenantrieb mit Schrittmotor für eine Positioniergenauigkeit von 0,3 Millimetern. Mit dabei ist auch eine Energiekette für die Führung von Energie- und Datenleitungen, ein Schaltschrank-Integrationskit mit Leitungen, Motorcontroller und der jeweiligen Softwarelösung sowie ein Schlitten mit der Adapterplatte, die igus an die Geometrie tausender Gelenkarmroboter anpasst. Alle Komponenten sind perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass Anwender das System ohne teuren Konstruktions- und Abstimmungsaufwand schnell in Betrieb nehmen und von der neuen Mobilität profitieren können.
Betriebskosten sparen: 7. Achse ist schmier- und wartungsfrei
Anwender sparen nicht nur bei der Planung und Anschaffung der 7. Achse Zeit und Geld, sondern auch im Betrieb. Denn das System arbeitet wartungsfrei. Der Grund: Die Schlitten bewegen sich mithilfe von drylin Lineartechnik auf den Aluminiumschienen. Der Hochleistungskunststoff der Lager ermöglicht dabei einen reibungsarmen und wartungsfreien Trockenlauf – eine Nachschmierung ist nicht erforderlich. Die Schmiermittelfreiheit macht das System zudem hygienisch, da Schmieröl ein wahrer Schmutzmagnet ist. Insbesondere als Edelstahlvariante mit FDA konformen Komponenten ist die Linearführung somit bestens auch für Branchen wie die Lebensmittelindustrie geeignet.
