It doesn’t have a Spider-Man web shooter, but the HausBots HB1 wall climbing robot can most certainly scale houses and possibly even skyscrapers in the future. Ensuring that it doesn’t fall during a critical job meant extensive electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) testing for the fans, which attach the robot securely to the surface.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), it doesn’t rely on superpowers to climb walls, just powerful electric fans that suck air with 92-pounds of force, while four rubber wheels are connected to the control unit powered by a 110V tether. What are its limits? Currently, the robot is able to climb on semi-rough ceilings that are curved or smooth and over small objects, such as bolts, while maintaining its grip. Various accessories can be attached to HB1 depending on the job, including a robotic arm.
- Marvel LEGO Set - 3,772-piece, 32 in./82 cm high, 4-floor Daily Bugle office recreation with 25 minifigures for adult collectors.
- Removable Facades - Easy access to detailed rooms with various accessories, and large front posters on the building.
- Penthouse Office - Bugle's Editor in Chief office, Spider-Man's buggy, and action-packed scenes with Marvel characters.
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,” said Jack Corne, CEO and Co-Founder of HausBots.
