Taurob tracker

Since 2013 an ATEX Zone 1 certified variant, called Taurob Tracker Ex is available, which is able to drive in explosive atmospheres safely.

[8] A taurob tracker version with sensors for environments with extreme smoke (e.g. fires in tunnels or subway stations) is currently being developed in the EU funded "SmokeBot" project[9] Compared to most other mobile robots, the taurob tracker has a unique track geometry which allows it to climb over obstacles with just one pair of tracks.

Further advantages include improved traction (thus the name of the robot) on uneven ground and a rapid track exchange mechanism.

[12] In 2017 a variant of taurob tracker called "Argonaut" has won the ARGOS Challenge organised by Total Energies.

It is the first fully autonomous, ATEX certified mobile inspection robot for Oil and Gas installations.
