xTerra Robotics Unveils SCORP, India’s First Legged Mobile Manipulator

Key facts

• SCORP is India’s first legged mobile manipulator, developed by deep-tech startup xTerra Robotics incubated at IIT Kanpur.
• The robot merges legged locomotion with a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm to navigate and manipulate in complex environments.
• SCORP performs intricate pipe network inspections using a high-resolution camera mounted on its robotic arm for close-range visual analysis.
• It uses a RealSense D435 stereo depth camera for automated crack detection by capturing precise 3D depth information.
• SCORP can autonomously patrol, detect threats, and physically interact with objects using its robotic arm for tasks like waste pickup and fire extinguisher pressure checks.
