Velox: The First Skating Robot In The World

But wait, there’s more! Did you know that Velox is also the first robot in the world capable of skating on ice? That’s right, thanks to the principles of anisotropic friction, it glides over ice with an elegance that would make any Olympic athlete feel humble.

From The Ocean Floor To Space Missions

The applications of Velox are vast and exciting. We’re talking about exploration in deep waters, rescues in icy areas, wildlife filming, and even extraterrestrial missions, such as NASA’s exploration of Europa. It’s a lot of technology and innovation in one package!

Safety And Maneuverability

Besides being a technological marvel, the flexible and undulating fins of Velox offer unparalleled maneuverability and safety. It is the ideal choice for studying and mapping challenging environments, whether in the depths of the ocean or in the most rugged terrains.
