The large-scale MA-9 robot, used for installation works and welding operations, capable of carrying a half-ton payload. The manufacturer guarantees a 20 years lifespan.
Compared to MA-7 and MA-8, which were capable only of manual or semiautomatic welding, MA-9 utilizes the technology of a fully automated argon-arc welding. Furthermore, MA-10 is expected to be finally certified for laser welding.

Thanks to its steel/titanium shell, “Belyash” is capable of operating in extremely hazardous conditions: from −75 to +75 °C. Its flexible chassis is based on the skeleton of a chimpanzee, thus allowing the machine to easily climb on vertical surfaces and stock beams. Fun fact: Vitaly Abalakov, the renowned master of alpinism, aided in designing the arms of “Belyash”.
