We have sold them all over the world. Japan is our most successful foreign market this far. But we have robots in France, Germany, Italy, etc.Maybe you haven't seen the Terminator? This how it starts, first they're helping you climb buildings and next they take over the world! All kidding aside that's really cool.
Still, it is slow going, slow adoption and acceptance of robots for field services work. Our competition is ladders, scaffolding, lifts... things that have been around a long time. Most people are afraid of trying something new. But everyday I go into work believing today will be THE DAY someone large like a GE or BOEING start negotiating with us for 8- or 200 of these robots. Every day....
I have put on thousands of technology demonstrations to companies like ALSTOM, BOEING, LOCKHEED MARTIN, CURTISS-WRIGHT, the DOE, The DOD, SwRI, EPRI etc.... they all love it and are amazed at hw well it works and our years of successful case histories.... we just need major adoption and many more robots out there.

They climb surfaces. They are held by vacuum force so they can climb on nonferrous surfaces or brick or concrete as well as ferrous surfaces. We have integrated many different kinds f NDT technologies onto our robot and deployed them. We have done Nuclear work. We were at Crystal River on their containment dome deploying 3 different NDT technologies to see what one worked best to detect cracks. www.icm.cc is the website.
