Helical Robotics was on hand to demonstrate their line of MP Series Magnetic Platform robots. Designed for operations in difficult, dangerous, or hard to reach places, MP robots utilize rare earth magnets that are positioned as such they will adhere to metallic surfaces without making direct contact. Their design allows for vertical travel, and the robots can be outfitted with cameras, sensors, and other observational equipment.

The unique mecanum wheels consist of 45 degree angled treads that allow the robots not only to more forwards and backwards, but side-to-side as well. Their operation is fully wireless which allows for an expanded work environment.

Multiple model MPs exist, from small sized observation models, to larger models designed to carry up to a 100 lb. / 45 kg payload.
