FLX Solutions develops advanced robotic systems that enhance mission readiness and safety by minimizing maintenance disruptions across defense operations with expanding applications in industrial, transit, and construction sectors.

The FLX BOT is a compact, articulating snake-like robot that transforms inspection and maintenance for defense and industrial environments. It is 1″ in diameter and can navigate confined or hazardous spaces on ships, bases, and aircraft. Operated by a single technician via handheld control or extension pole, it reduces labor and improves safety.

Its modular design includes interchangeable links with advanced cameras and sensors for autonomous obstacle avoidance. Plug-and-play end effectors, such as 4K, 360°, and 3D cameras, NDT sensors, thermal imaging, leak detectors, & sprayers enable rapid adaptation for diverse tasks.

Problem Statement:

Maintenance and DOD technicians face major challenges inspecting and sustaining critical equipment on aircraft, ships, and remote bases. Many areas are confined, hidden, or too dangerous to access safely. Tight turnaround times and unsafe conditions increase risk. Current methods rely on costly teardowns and hazardous scaffolding. There is a need for high-resolution inspection tools that access hard-to-reach spaces efficiently.
