ARGO is a collaborative robot for the remote inspection of Rolling stocks. Thanks to its patented wheel system it can move on the railway under the train.
ARGO can remotly provide the operator with Full HD images and video of the inspected rolling stock udercarriage. It can be used manually (teleoperated) or by running autonomous inspection routines that will automatically collect images of the undercarriage according to a personalized inspection profile.
Thanks to the on board AI ARGO can autonomously detect the most critical train components to thoroughly inspect them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ARGO can perform remote train undercarriage inspection by safely moving under a train without any risk of collision. It can be remotely operated by a person that can launch automatic scanning procedures or manually teleoperate the robot to take pictures or videos.
ARGO can move thanks to a patented motion system based on wheels rolling on the inner side of the rail. Thanks to its advanced motion system, ARGO can run on any profile and overcome obstacles on the rail.
ARGO can be used on standard rail profile, both on tracks with ballast and on inspection pits.
ARGO creates inspection pits where there is none. It can help you improving the traceability and repeatability of maintenance and inspection procedures, enabling predictive maintenance algorithms.
ARGO gathers precious reliable and repeatable data on trains thanks to its sensors. These data are collected into digitized inspection records that can be used to develop specific AI based predictive maintenance algorithms.
ARGO is a versatile and modular platform that can integrate any sensor you need for undercarriage inspection. Base ARGO modules are designed for visual inspection, furthermore, the modularity design allows to easily customize the product on your sensor requirements.
