Vision
Advance humanity by creating robots that integrate into real-world environments, enhance human capability, and provide robust, dynamic and adaptable mobility beyond conventional robotic limitations.
Problem
Many industrial, infrastructure, security and defence operations happen in complex or dangerous 3D environments where manual inspection is risky and wheeled robots struggle with uneven terrain, stairs, pipes, machinery areas, construction sites and public spaces.
Solution
xTerra Robotics develops legged robotic systems including the SVAN series and precision QDD actuators. Its SVAN M2 quadruped robot uses high-definition cameras, thermal sensors, LiDAR and AI analytics to navigate rugged terrain, inspect power plants and power stations, support construction surveys, patrol public spaces, detect threats and perform field robotics tasks with agility and reliability.
Potential
xTerra is positioning SVAN M2 as India's first commercial quadruped robot and a Made-in-India alternative for legged robotics. The platform can scale across energy, infrastructure, construction, security, industrial inspection, robotics education and defence-adjacent logistics, with public demonstrations at India AI Impact Summit 2026 and plans to scale production against imported alternatives.
Target Beneficiaries
Power plant and energy operators, infrastructure owners, construction companies, public security teams, industrial inspection teams, defence and logistics stakeholders, robotics researchers, universities and organizations that need safer monitoring, inspection and mobility in rough or hard-to-reach environments.
Current Users
The website lists deliveries and deployments of SVAN M2 to IIT Bombay, Marwadi University, the Robotics Interest Group at NIT Calicut and Siemens Energy. It also lists live demonstrations for construction site monitoring and industrial inspection supported by L&T Technology Services, and a logistics showcase for the Indian Army at the Surya Supply and Transport Symposium 2025.
