Speedsnake will be a new snake-arm robot from the established world-leader in the technology, OC Robotics. This project will enable the development of a new and innovative high-speed snake-arm robot for aviation manufacturing. Speedsnake will be used to carry process tooling for automation of manufacturing processes inside aircraft structures such as wings. The global aviation industry, including Airbus, Bombardier and others in the UK, needs automation to enable increased rates of production while improving quality and reducing cost, in order to meet demand for new aircraft. Speedsnake will be a robot capable of automating assembly inside confined spaces, increasing production rates and reducing the need for people to climb and crawl into confined spaces to assemble aircraft. Most applications for OC Robotics' snake-arm robots have been for slow, low-speed tasks such as inspecting and maintaining high-value assets like nuclear reactors and other expensive or delicate equipment. The Speedsnake robot will set new records for high-speed (x10), autonomous operation inside confined spaces, to meet the production rate challenges of the aviation industry.

Speedsnake将是一款新的蛇臂机器人，来自世界领先的技术公司OC Robotics。该项目将为航空制造业开发一种新的创新高速蛇臂机器人。Speedsnake将用于携带飞机结构（如机翼）内部制造过程自动化的工艺工具。全球航空业，包括空客、庞巴迪和英国的其他公司，需要自动化来提高生产率，同时提高质量和降低成本，以满足对新飞机的需求。Speedsnake是一种能够在密闭空间内自动组装的机器人，可以提高生产率，减少人们爬进密闭空间组装飞机的需要。OC机器人公司的蛇臂机器人的大多数应用都是缓慢、低速的任务，比如检查和维护高价值的资产，比如核反应堆和其他昂贵或精密的设备。Speedsnake机器人将创造高速（x10）、密闭空间内自主操作的新纪录，以应对航空工业的生产率挑战。
