Square Robot is a global robotics technology company specializing in autonomous robotic inspection of aboveground storage tanks. Founded in 2016 in Massachusetts, the company was created with a clear mission: to make industrial inspections safer, more efficient, and more data-driven while protecting workers from hazardous confined-space environments.
At the heart of Square Robot’s technology is the SR-3, a fully autonomous, submersible inspection robot designed to inspect storage tanks while they remain online and in service. The platform combines autonomous navigation, high-resolution sensors, phased-array ultrasonic technology, and intelligent data collection to provide detailed information about tank integrity without requiring workers to enter the tank.
Square Robot’s approach helps industrial operators avoid traditional inspection challenges such as tank shutdowns, product removal, cleaning, degassing, and confined-space entry. By enabling on-stream robotic inspection, the company helps reduce operational downtime, inspection costs, and worker exposure to hazardous environments while providing high-density inspection data for maintenance and risk-based decision-making.
The company serves critical industries including refining, petrochemicals, midstream operations, aviation, chemical processing, renewable energy, power generation, and mining. Its inspection technology is designed around major industry requirements, including API 653 and EEMUA 159, with its robotic systems also receiving FM approval for applicable hazardous environments.
Square Robot has continued to expand its global operations and inspection capabilities. According to its current website, the company has inspected 400+ tanks across 17 countries, eliminated more than 236,000 confined-space hours, and helped avoid significant inspection downtime.
The company’s core focus is built around four principles: Safety First, Technology Innovation, Operational Efficiency, and Data Confidence. Through these principles, Square Robot aims to protect the people who keep industrial infrastructure running while giving asset owners better data and smarter tools for managing the integrity of critical infrastructure.
