CRANEbot is a teleoperated robot, raised by overhead cranes, which allows performing work at height, carrying out procedures remotely with the required degree of care and precision, in radioactive areas not reachable by common terrestrial robots. It can thus replace human beings in especially dangerous situations and take over their work.

The central part of the robot consists of an aluminum frame that contains all the electronic devices and batteries needed to control the manipulators and the on-board camera system. In the upper part, an adapter for double hooks DIN 15402 allows the lifting of the robot with overhead cranes. Four RUD VRM M8 eye nuts can be used to hook and transport loads up to 500 kg. Using two robot-friendly hooks, grabbed by the manipulators, it is possible to hook, transport, and release loads remotely.

CRANEbot can be used for remote transport and manipulation of dangerous equipment, also for the inspection and investigation of unknown objects and locations. The robot supports the operator in the following tasks regarding dangerous items:

• Identification and processing of objects
• Use of various devices to dispose of dangerous items
• Reconnaissance, monitoring and investigation by means of the built-in cameras or special cameras
• Use of various electrical and mechanical tools
• Transporting, positioning and remotely controlled use of measuring equipment.
