AGELLUS TANK ROBOTICS
Physical AI for Critical Energy Infrastructure
Tanks InspectedCrews ProtectedAssets Always On
Multi functional AI robots built for the physical world to Assess, Clean, Inspect, and Maintenance Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) without shutting them down.
The problem
Getting a straight answer about a tank still means taking it out of service and sending people inside.
Aboveground storage is among the most capital-intensive assets an operator owns, and it is still assessed on a schedule set by how long the tank can afford to sit empty. The cost shows up as lost throughput, exposure hours, and maintenance decisions based on data that has already aged.

People in Confined Spaces
Tank Data That Ages Out
Our solution
We deploy multi-functional HazLoc submersible robots inside in-service tanks so your crews stay out of confined spaces.
Tank assessment
Map geometry, sludge volume, and surface condition before the mission begins.
Tank cleaning
Fluidize, recover, and separate settled material without sending a crew inside.
Tank inspection
Capture visual and PAUT condition data while the tank remains operational.
Tank maintenance
Prepare surfaces and complete targeted interventions with remotely operated tooling.
Tank monitoring
Turn repeat missions and in-tank sensing into a condition trend.
Tank intelligence
Unify inspection, cleaning, repair, and asset-history data in one operating record.
Why ATR
The problem, and how ATR Solves it.

Industries
Built for the infrastructure that supports our way of life.
Refineries
High-consequence sites that need clearer tank-condition data without another confined-space campaign.
Offshore
Remote, space-constrained assets where sending a robot reduces risk and extends asset life.
Marine vessels
Cargo and ballast tanks on vessels, where the survey window is short and every entry permit is expensive.

How to ATR Solution Works
Every deployment follows the same connected playbook: robots working, data flowing, and decisions happening. Select a capability to explore the work stream.
Technology
Advanced ATR technologies
ATR deploys advance innovative technology solutions to optimize tank economic value, minimize operational downtime, and reduce maintenance costs.
Submersible HazLoc Robots
First of a kind multi-functional submersible HazLoc robot fleet designed to perform work beneath the hazardous liquid surface while the tank is in service. ATR Robots perform Tank Assessments, Tank Cleaning, Tank Inspection, and Tank Maintenance.
Robot Edge AI & Machine Vision
Best-in-class robot edge compute allows ATR robots to understand their environment, understand the work task, and execute complex missions with minimal human intervention. From situation awareness and mission plan optimization, to entanglement avoidance and corrosion detection; robot edge intelligence is critical for safe efficient ops.
Sludge Cleaning & Oil Recovery
Advanced submersible fluidization and suction robot tooling provide in-service cleaning, filtration, and recirculation solutions to minimize the cost of tank cleaning and optimize tank economic value. Secondary oil recovery processes provide additional client value.
Advanced PAUT inspection
Advanced robotic Phased-Array Ultrasonics Testing (PUAT) tooling identifies tank topsides and bottom side floor corrosion. Creating a characteristic map of the tank floor detects including size, grid location, and time, providing the basis for repeatable inspections and structural tread analysis.
Robot Swarm Ops
Multiple ATR Robots swarm operations with robots working simultaneously in teams to execute in-service robotic tank assessment, cleaning, inspection, and repair activities with shared situational awareness, centralized safety arbitration, task allocation and zoning, and consolidated data fusion.
Tank Intelligence Platform
The Tank Intelligence Platform provides clients with a single source of truth for Tank Asset Integrity, reducing tank inspection and maintenance schedules and costs, maximizing tank uptime, and optimizing tank asset economic value.
In-Service Solutions
A multi-Functional robotic work platform, configured with mission-specific assessment, cleaning, inspection, and recovery tooling.
MP Robot Assessment
The standard platform carries the navigation and sensing packages required for in-service tank assessment and general visual inspection
MP Robot Cleaning
The cleaning tool fluidizes and extracts sludge inside the tank with recirculation and oil recovery operations outside the tank.
MP Robot Inspection
The inspection skid combines phased-array ultrasonics, machine vision, and positioning for repeatable floor-condition corrosion mapping.
MP Robot Recovery
The Dual Function robotic recovery manip provide the MP Robot with cutting, gripping, cupping, and precise close visual inspection capabilities.
Out-of-Service Solutions
A suite of out-of-service robotic platforms to optimize tank asset integrity and maintenance solutions, enhancing tank economic value.
3D Scan
Geo-referenced 3D scan for external tank structural inspection and general coating assessment.
Tank Shell Cleaning
External robotic tank shell cleaning and coating application for corrosion protection.
Tank Sludge Cleaning
Out-of-service internal robotic sludge cleaning and remediation.
Tank Floor Inspection
Out-of-service internal robotic floor inspection.
Oil Pit Sludge Cleaning
Out-of-service oil pit robotic sludge cleaning and remediation.
