Dr Rob Buckingham FREng CEng FIET
Co-Founder and Managing Director, OCRobotics
Rob
Buckingham is Managing Director of OC Robotics who,
together with co-founding director Andrew Graham,
took the concept of snake-arm robots from theory to
commercial success. OC Robotics was awarded the
Queens Award for Enterprise and subsequently the
co-founders were awarded The Royal Academy of
Engineering Silver Medal.
OC Robotics is the market leader in flexible robotic
snake-arm technology, making systems designed to
work in confined and hazardous spaces. Already used
in nuclear power plants, the technology could
revolutionise aircraft assembly and the maintenance
of complex industrial plant and machinery. Snake-arm
robots also have potential to advance minimally
invasive surgery techniques and be used for security
applications.
