TECHNOLOGY
The Crover Effect
The core technology behind the CROVER robot comes from years of research in granular physics and rheology (the study of how granular materials "flow").
Crover's method of movement in granular materials is made possible by a new ground-breaking physical discovery and patented (UK) technology enabling locomotion in bulk solids (e.g. sand, grains, powders).
Like plane or drone wings in air, or a boat's rotor in water, it allows an object to move through solid grains.
It works in any environment made of bulk solids and powers, like sand dunes, heaps of grain, mineral bulks, chemical powders and even loose Martian terrain.
DR Lorenzo Conti, ENTERPRISE fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering and Crover's founder, made his breakthrough dURING HIS doctorate RESEARCH in granular physics at the University of Edinburgh.
Grain bulks and Beyond
Crover's core technology goes beyond its applications in grain storage.
The unique and proprietary method of locomotion works in any assembly of granular particles, which include:
- Oilseeds & Protein Crops, such as precious crops like rapeseed and soybeans
- Pellets, like livestock and fish feed
- Sand, Regolith and Minerals
- Other Granular Bulks
Potential applications
ExtraPLanetary soil Exploration and analysis
Subterranean probing and the recovery of buried objects
bulk carrier cargo operations
...and many more!
