The B2 is a heavy-duty quadruped robot specifically suited for rail infrastructure inspection, trackside deployment, and hazardous environments. Its robust design, autonomous navigation, and extreme mobility make it a highly capable platform for use across complex, real-world rail scenarios.

Key Features:

  • Rugged IP67-rated design
    – Fully sealed against dust, water, and debris
    – Operates reliably in wet, dirty, and ballast-covered rail environments
    – Built to handle 45° inclines, loose stone, and unstable terrain

  • Payload capacity:
    – Supports up to 120 kg while stationary
    – Carries up to 40 kg while walking, ideal for mounting sensors, cameras, tools, or comms equipment

  • Mobility for rail environments:
    Top speed: 6 metres per second (m/s) for rapid deployment along trackside routes
    Maximum jump distance: 1.6 metres – capable of clearing rail gaps, ditches, and obstacles commonly found near tracks
    – Agile movement for navigating ballast beds, embankments, tunnels, and platform areas

  • Battery and power system:
    4–6 hours of operating time on a single charge
    Quick-swap battery modules minimise downtime

  • Smart navigation for inspection tasks:
    – Equipped with AI-driven LIDAR and stereo cameras
    – Real-time 3D mapping, path planning, and obstacle detection
    – Operates independently in areas such as underpasses, tunnels, and remote track sections

  • Adapted for rail use cases:
    – Suitable for track inspection, infrastructure monitoring, perimeter patrol, and asset transport
    – Can be remotely controlled or operate autonomously in dynamic rail environments
