Floating inspection robot, the advantages of the Roview2

An innovation by Multinnov

Confined, hard‑to‑reach environments such as sewer networks represent a constant challenge for inspection professionals. With this in mind, Multinnov, the French leader in robotic technologies, has designed the Roview2, a floating inspection robot at the cutting edge of innovation. Unique on the market, this robot is the only one able to float and navigate efficiently on water, while providing accurate and reliable data.

Its versatile design and exceptional performance make it an ideal solution for environments where traditional technologies often fail. But what really sets the Roview2 apart, and why is it becoming a must‑have for industries requiring inspections in confined or slightly flooded environments?

The Roview2: versatility at the service of inspection

A unique amphibious robot

Unlike traditional inspection robots, the Roview2 stands out for its ability to operate both on land and in water. Thanks to an ingenious system of blades added to the wheels, it becomes a true amphibious vehicle, capable of moving in partially or totally flooded environments. This concept is particularly useful in areas where human access is difficult or even dangerous.

Key technical features

The Roview2 has been designed to meet the demands of the most complex environments. Here are some of its most notable specifications:

- Buoyancy and waterproofing: The robot is fully waterproof, enabling it to operate in wet conditions without risk of malfunction. Its buoyancy guarantees smooth navigation, even in shallow or stagnant water.

- High‑resolution camera: Equipped with a 4K camera, the Roview2 captures images and videos of exceptional quality, enabling detailed analysis of inspected structures.

- Extended autonomy: With an operating time of 2 hours on a single charge, the Roview2 offers extended inspection capacity, suitable for long missions.

- Lightweight and portable: Weighing just 4 kg, it can be easily transported and deployed by a single operator, simplifying field operations.

- Real‑time transmission: Thanks to its advanced connectivity, the robot transmits collected data live, enabling teams to act quickly when anomalies are detected.

Why choose a floating inspection robot?

No drainage: an economic revolution

In many sectors, network or infrastructure inspections require prior drainage of flooded areas. This operation is not only time‑consuming and costly, but can also disrupt surrounding activities. The Roview2 eliminates this constraint by enabling inspections to be carried out directly in the water. This not only saves considerable time, but also substantial operating costs.

Enhanced operator safety

Inspections in confined or flooded environments entail major risks for human operators, such as slipping, drowning or exposure to toxic substances. The Roview2, by intervening in their place, reduces these dangers while guaranteeing accurate and complete data collection.

Versatility and adaptability

The Roview2 is not only useful in wastewater networks; its versatility means it can be used in a wide variety of contexts:

- Pipeline networks: inspection of sewers, drinking water pipes or drainage networks.

- Industrial sites: Monitoring of reservoirs or flood‑prone areas.

- Post‑disaster environments: Assessment of damaged infrastructure following a flood or accident.

Practical applications for Roview2

Sewer network inspections

Upkeep and maintenance of sewer systems are essential to prevent overflows, blockages or structural failures. Traditionally, these inspections require heavy work, such as drainage or the intervention of robots not adapted to water. With Roview2, professionals can monitor flooded pipes without interrupting network operations, while reducing response times.

Flood or disaster zones

During floods or natural disasters, access to infrastructure becomes complicated. The Roview2 makes it possible to quickly gather essential information on the state of installations, without risking the safety of human operators. Its ability to float and navigate in areas where other tools fail makes it a valuable ally in emergency response.

Industrial tank monitoring

In industries using tanks or vats, regular inspections are necessary to detect signs of corrosion, cracks or leaks. The Roview2, with its high‑resolution camera and buoyancy, is perfectly suited to inspecting these liquid‑filled structures.
