KTV Working Robot is a new technology concept from KTV Working Drone, introducing robotic systems developed for cleaning, inspection and surface treatment in demanding industrial environments. This is the first technology concept in a new series, with more innovative solutions to follow.
Introducing MAGGIE
MAGGIE is the first robot in the KTV Working Robot family. Using magnetic traction, it moves vertically, horizontally and underneath steel structures, and cleans with water pressure up to 500 bar.

Maximum water pressure for high-pressure cleaning
Cleaning nozzles, four at the front and two on the robotic arm
Vertical movement of the front cleaning nozzles
Cleaning, inspection, spot blasting and surface treatment
The first robot: MAGGIE
MAGGIE is a magnetic climbing robot designed to work directly on steel surfaces. It can operate at significant heights without the same practical access limitations as traditional manual methods.
The cleaning system includes:
The moving front nozzles and robotic arm allow MAGGIE to clean complex steel structures, corners, stiffeners and difficult angles.
More than a cleaning robot
MAGGIE is a multi-purpose industrial robotic platform.
High-pressure cleaning up to 500 bar.
Camera-based visual inspection and
NDT applications and coating thickness measurement (COMING).
Localised sandblasting and surface preparation on damaged or corroded areas.
Development is underway for coating and spray-painting applications.
Built for tanks and complex structures
MAGGIE is particularly suited for structures with complex geometry. The 180° moving front cleaning system gives the robot access to areas that are difficult to reach with conventional equipment.

Why KTV Working Robot
Many industrial maintenance tasks still require people to work in environments where the risk can be significant. Tank cleaning is one example.
Personnel may be exposed to:
Our objective is to develop technology that allows robots to take over more of these tasks.
Smarter and increasingly autonomous
The next development stage is making MAGGIE increasingly intelligent and autonomous.
The objective is a robot that does not simply move where the operator tells it to move. The objective is a robot that understands the job that needs to be completed.
Development focuses on the robot being able to:
Fewer people in tanks, at height and around hazardous gases.
Robotics, sensors, cameras and software in one platform.
Developed to map the surface, plan its route and navigate on its own.
The future of KTV Working Robot
KTV Working Robot will become a family of robotic technologies designed for industrial cleaning, inspection, maintenance and surface treatment.
Our development focus is on combining:
The long-term goal is to develop robotic technology that can perform more industrial maintenance with less human exposure to dangerous environments.
