Electronic systems for pipe robots

For a water pipe renovation company, we designed the architecture and on-board systems for the intervention trucks and the inspection and work robots. DK Innovation also provides manufacturing and technical support for these electronic systems. These robots are currently in service in France, the Netherlands, England, Spain, Denmark and the United States.
