We Go Where
No Robot
Has Gone Before
Sprout is a soft robot built to inspect the tightest, most hazardous confined spaces in industry, from petrochemical vessels to nuclear containment. No human entry. No rigid-robot limitations.
We reach places
no other robot can.
XiniX AI builds soft robots specialized for confined industrial spaces: the complex, tight geometries inside petrochemical plants, nuclear facilities, and underground infrastructure that rigid robots simply cannot navigate.
Pipelines, reactor vessels, storage tanks, and distillation columns degrade invisibly. Conventional inspection means shutdowns, scaffolding, or sending people into life-threatening confined spaces. Rigid robots are too bulky to fit. The result: assets go uninspected.
Sprout is a soft robot that grows through confined spaces like a vine, twisting, bending, and extending where rigid robots cannot physically go. From petrochemical columns to nuclear containment structures, Sprout reaches the unreachable.
Our proprietary vine mechanism grows from the tip, enabling navigation of geometries impossible for rigid robots. Sprout can twist, bend, and extend into tight spaces safely. IP-backed and industrially hardened.
Available as a full Robot + AI inspection system or as a standalone AI analytics platform. Deployed on-site with minimal setup, reducing downtime, eliminating confined space entry, and delivering inspection data in real time.
XiniX Forge
Sprout, our soft inspection robot, paired with an AI asset intelligence layer. Purpose-built for the confined spaces that defeat conventional inspection methods.
Forge pairs Sprout, the only soft robot designed for confined industrial inspection, with an AI platform that processes sensor data, detects anomalies, and delivers structured maintenance intelligence. From petrochemical to nuclear.
-
Vine NavigationGrows from tip through any geometry. Zero entrapment risk.
-
AI Intelligence LayerReal-time anomaly detection, 3D mapping, LLM chat interface.
-
Hazardous Environment ReadyDesigned for oil & gas, nuclear, and confined industrial spaces.
-
Robot-as-a-ServiceTwo entry paths: full Robot + AI platform, or AI standalone.
Two products.
One platform.
Sprout is the robot. Forge is the intelligence. Together they form the world's most capable confined space inspection system.
Meet Sprout
Sprout is a soft robot purpose-built for confined industrial inspection. Where rigid robots are too bulky, too stiff, or simply cannot fit, Sprout navigates with ease.
Its vine-growth mechanism grows from the tip, threading through petrochemical columns, reactor vessels, heat exchangers, pipelines, and nuclear containment zones that no other robot can access.
XiniX Forge
Paired with Sprout is our AI platform: a "data scientist in a box." It processes inspection data in real time, detecting anomalies and generating insights via a conversational LLM interface.
Forge transforms raw sensor data into structured, actionable asset intelligence, giving operators the information they need for critical maintenance and risk decisions.
Built for
critical industries
Sprout goes where no other robot can, across the industries where confined space inspection matters most.
Pipeline inspection, vessel interiors, refinery infrastructure, monitoring assets with the highest consequence of failure.
High ConsequenceInspection inside reactors, containment structures, and radioactive zones where human access is prohibited.
Restricted AccessHeat exchangers, boilers, column interiors: routine and emergency inspection without costly shutdowns.
Zero DowntimeSewers, utility tunnels, buried conduits, deploying intelligence into unseen infrastructure beneath cities.
Urban CriticalSee Sprout in the field.
