Meet Tready - the mighty robot designed specifically for Hong Kong's challenging terrain.

Tready is the result of a collaborative effort between CEDD, universities, and robot manufacturers. This tread-based robot is designed to navigate Hong Kong's winding and sloppy mountains easily. Its unique design allows it to traverse even the most treacherous landscapes, making it an invaluable asset in disaster response efforts.

This remarkable robot can be equipped with different kits for various tasks such as inspection and maintenance. Its compatibility ensures it can adapt to different needs and contribute effectively in multiple scenarios. It can tackle slopes up to 50 degrees and even conquer stairs effortlessly.

By introducing Tready into its response strategies, the government now has a powerful tool to ensure timely and efficient action during landslides caused by natural disasters. This novel solution not only improves safety but also helps to reduce potential damage.
