Extend Robotics
Extend Robotics is a British telerobotics developer whose software lets an operator control industrial robot arms remotely through an immersive interface, with an eye to inspection and maintenance tasks that are awkward or hazardous to reach. Its relevance to civil aviation lies in airframe and component inspection, where remote hands-on control can shorten downtime while keeping the engineer at a safe distance. The company is at an early stage and works largely through pilot deployments with industrial partners.
