MicroWatt

MicroWatt has launched what it says is North America's first UL certified inspection robot designed for hazardous locations. The certification means the robot can operate in environments where flammable gases or vapours are present, such as oil and gas facilities, without needing special approval. The announcement positions MicroWatt ahead of competitors in certified robotic inspection, and industry outlets covering energy operations are picking up the news as robotic inspections expand in the sector.
