Snake Arm Robots For Flexible Reach

OC Robotics announced two contracts in December:

Completed a contract with Comau Pico Inc. studying the use of snake-arm robots for aerospace coating applications.
"Currently, standard industrial robots are used to coat the surfaces of separate parts of a structure before it is assembled. These robots are not able to reach the most awkward areas of the assembly.


Also-
"...completed an initial contract with British Nuclear Group Sellafield Ltd to conduct a feasibility study and specify a design for a snake-arm robot for use at Sellafield. The proposed snake-arm will be OCRobotics' longest, at around 10 metres, and is intended for inspection, instrumentation and repair activities on site."
