Description

The project consists of designing and building robotic devices that facilitate the maintenance of urban infrastructures such as lampposts, billboards, canopies, etc. The project has designed both the mechanical structure of the robot, the mechanical transmissions, the control electronics and the programming until full functionality is obtained. The first prototype is protected under patent.
