AUTONOMOUS DRILLING ROBOT

BOB DRILLS.
YOU WATCH.

Fully autonomous underground drilling with real-time IMU tracking. Electric. Precise. No operator intervention during the bore. Up to 20 meters — in hours, not days.

HOW BOB WORKS

FROM START PIT TO
HOUSE. AUTONOMOUSLY.

BOB is placed in the start pit, receives the drill path from WENDY Control, and navigates itself to the target — tracked millimeter by millimeter via IMU.

01

WENDY PLANS

WENDY Control calculates the optimal drill path. Start and end points, soil conditions, obstacles — everything is planned and simulated before the drill turns.

02

BOB ENTERS

BOB is placed in the start pit. The IMU locks position. The autonomous sequence begins — no manual steering required.

03

AUTONOMOUS ADVANCE

BOB drills along the planned path, tracked in real-time. Position, direction, depth — all monitored from the WENDY workstation above ground.

04

CONNECTION

BOB arrives at the end pit. Line installed, surface intact. Fiber optic, power cable, or utility connection — operational in hours.

CORE TECHNOLOGY

BUILT FOR PRECISION.
NOT GUESSING. 

REAL-TIME NAVIGATION

BOB is tracked via the Inertial Measurement Unit directly from the start pit — in position and direction. You always know where it is. Unlike any earth rocket.

​

  • Military-grade IMU sensor

  • Real-time position display on WENDY

  • Automatic stop at drill end

IMU TRACKING. NOT BLIND FLIGHT. 

ZERO EMISSIONS

PURE ELECTRIC. 24V PRECISION. 

No compressor. No hydraulic unit. BOB's two motors run on 24V DC — powered directly by the WENDY Control cabinet, which converts standard 230V mains. Quiet, emission-free, deployable in sensitive residential areas and near hospitals or schools.

  • 24V DC dual-motor drive

  • Powered via WENDY Control (230V → 24V)

  • Near-silent operation

  • Indoor and sensitive area capable

WORKFORCE EFFICIENCY

ONE OPERATOR. TWO MACHINES. 

BOB and BUDDEL can be connected to a single WENDY station simultaneously and work in different directions. Two bores in parallel — one operator. That's how you scale with fewer hands.

​

  • Simultaneous dual-bore operation

  • No specialized drilling crew needed

  • WENDY monitors both machines

  • Reduces labor dependency by 60%+
