RobotPlusPlus, an engineering-led developer of working-at-height robots, is extending automation across industrial maintenance with its HighMate Series for industrial cleaning and corrosion control. The systems, led by the HighMate AP-F-CO Coating Robot+VOC Recovery System, were presented at SMM 2026 in Hamburg. They are designed to cut workers' exposure to hazardous work at height while improving cleaning and surface-treatment efficiency and consistency. On ships, storage tanks, bridges, and other large steel structures, the robot attaches by permanent magnet, adapts to curvatures as tight as a 3m radius, and carries two spray nozzles with adjustable spacing and travel speed, supporting even coating and minimising overspray.
