  • Smart extendable telescopic pole for deployment of miniature inspection crawlers
    Patent number: 12233544
    Abstract: A system for deploying a magnetic robotic crawler onto a surface of an elevated asset, the crawler being of the type that is capable of magnetically attaching to and traversing the surface. The system comprises an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end. The system also comprises a docking station having a housing for receiving the crawler. The docking station is provided at the distal end of the pole. The docking station also includes magnetic feet mounted at a distal end of the housing and configured to magnetically couple with the surface. The system can also comprise an extendable pole having a proximal end and a distal end and an end effector attached to the distal end. Specifically, the end effector is configured to selectively attach to and detach from a complementary shaped receiver provided on the crawler.
