The robot RJET 111 developed by Inteco Robotics, Zagreb in collaboration with LARICS, has been successfully transported from Zagreb to the thermal power plant (TPP) Plomin (Slovenia) and placed on the edges of the channel for supplying sea water for cooling. There the robot will aid the cooling process for the plant.
The 4.5 meters wide robot is equipped with a cleaning tool composed of several sections of high pressure water nozzles for the hydrodynamic treatment of the bottom and the sides of the channel. Advanced controls allow RJET 111 to move along a 2-kilometre-long winding channel with a maximum speed of 150 m/h. First tests with the robot on the site indicate that all controls function as planned. Congratulations to Matko Orsag (LARICS), and Kristijan Brkic (Inteco) who worked on the implementation of the control.
