All sector pages are listed on the solutions page.
Four new sectors in October 2026
Four sectors open in October 2026. They cover outdoor and field work where robots inspect, clean, patrol or tend crops.
| Sector | Main robot families | Example use-case page |
|---|---|---|
| Energy and solar | Solar panel cleaning robots, professional drones, quadrupeds | [Solar panel cleaning robot](/en/solutions/solar-panel-cleaning-robot) |
| Agriculture and viticulture | Agricultural robots, professional drones, outdoor robots | [Vineyard robot](/en/solutions/vineyard-robot) |
| Site security | Security and patrol robots, professional drones, quadrupeds | [Security patrol robot](/en/solutions/security-patrol-robot) |
| Water and utility networks | Pipe and sewer inspection robots, professional drones, quadrupeds | [Sewer pipe inspection robot](/en/solutions/sewer-pipe-inspection-robot) |
New robot families
Several robot families were added to serve these sectors and to complete existing ones such as construction, healthcare and restaurants.
- Solar panel cleaning robots, for ground-mounted plants and rooftops.
- Professional drones: docked drones for site surveillance, inspection drones and spraying drones.
- Pipe and sewer inspection robots: camera crawlers for drains and sewers.
- Security and patrol robots for industrial sites, car parks and warehouses.
- Agricultural robots: weeding robots, laser weeders and vineyard straddle robots.
- Exoskeletons, facade and window cleaning robots, kitchen robots and rehabilitation robots.
Four robots from the new families
The figures below are those published by each manufacturer.
- hyCLEANER solarROBOT pro: a remote-controlled tracked robot that cleans PV roofs and ground-mounted plants. According to its manufacturer, it reaches a cleaning width of about 2,400 mm with offset brushes, weighs about 89 kg, runs up to 3 hours on a 36 V battery and climbs slopes of up to 25° depending on the surface.
- VitiBot Bakus S: a fully electric autonomous straddle robot for narrow vineyards, carrying tools for soil work, mowing and trimming. According to its manufacturer, it weighs 2,050 kg empty, offers a passage 0.60 m wide and 1.75 m high, and navigates with two RTK GPS receivers to under 1 cm.
- Envirosight ROVVER X: a steerable six-wheel-drive crawler for pipes from 4 to 96 inches, depending on crawler size. According to its manufacturer, the RX130 crawler weighs 6 kg, is rated IP68 to 1 bar and carries a 1080p pan-tilt camera with 10x optical zoom, on reels of 300 or 500 m of cable.
- Ascento Guard: a two-wheeled self-balancing robot for outdoor night patrols and perimeter checks. According to its manufacturer, it runs up to 8 hours per shift with autonomous charging and carries thermal, RGB and infrared cameras.
Use-case pages: the job before the robot
Each sector page links to use-case pages. A use-case page describes the job to be done, the steps of a deployment, the checks to run on site before choosing a robot, and the robots in the catalogue that can do it.
For example, the sewer pipe inspection robot page starts from the inspection of a network, and the security patrol robot page starts from the rounds of a site. The robots come after the job.
Purchase, rental, RaaS and service from France
Robot Distribution offers every robot in the catalogue for purchase, rental or robots-as-a-service (RaaS), with a demonstration, installation and after-sales service from France. Robot Distribution remains the single contact from the first request to after-sales.
