Scarab · Prototype in development
Gas sensing that walks to the point that matters.
Scarab is a six-legged robot that samples the air as it moves, tags every reading with time and GPS, and rates the area safe, cautionary or hazardous for people.
01 · The robot
Send Scarab in before you send people.
Fixed sensor stations and doorway readings only tell you about the spot they sit in. Scarab goes to the spot.
Six legs
Walks where wheels stop
Eighteen joints carry it over debris, stairs and uneven ground.
Continuous
Samples as it moves
Every reading is logged onboard with a timestamp and GPS location.
Onboard
Makes the safety call
Safe, caution or hazard is computed on the robot, so alarms work with no connection.
02 · What Scarab measures
Ten readings today, eleven at launch.
03 · How it works
One robot, one remote, one record.
From the first step into a space to a map of how its air changes over months.
A · Scarab
Walks and senses
Carries the gas sensor array, GPS and a gimballed AI camera, and logs every reading locally.
B · Handheld remote
Shows it live
Connects directly to Scarab over Wi-Fi 6, no internet needed in the field. Live readings, camera and status on one screen.
C · Companion app
Keeps the history
Uploads are stored with date and location, then organized into tables, site maps and trends over time.
04 · Who it's for
The same data, two different jobs.
Industrial and hazardous sites
Is it safe to send people in?
Mining, chemical plants and manufacturers handling hazardous materials get a fast safety call, real-time alarms, and a record of every entry check.
Research and environmental
How is the air changing, and where?
Climate and air-quality researchers get continuous mobile measurements, trustworthy logs, maps and clean data export.
05 · The build
From prototype to field test.
- NOWPrototype buildAssembly and wiring of the first Scarab.
- [DATE TBD]Remote v0Live and logged data, split screen, status banner.
- [DATE TBD]App v0Upload, site map, trend charts, data export.
- [DATE TBD]Field testFirst walk-through with a target user.
Work somewhere the air matters? Let's talk.
We're looking for site operators and researchers to help shape Scarab and host early field tests.
