A non-electric robotic crawler platform system and method for logically controlling a pneumatically driven multidirectional multi-motor crawler platform in a confined space that includes Zone 0 and 1 spaces. The system includes a robotic crawler platform (that may include wheels and pneumatic motors) and an air logic control system made from materials having anti-static properties. The pneumatic motors can be connected to the wheels. Wheels can be polymer, magnetic, rollers, sprockets for track driven system and other motion systems. The control system is in fluid communication with the pneumatic motors. Users provide motion control input to the control system to control directional motion of the robotic crawler platfomi by controlling any one or combination of the pneumatic motors in either forward or reverse rotation direction. Precision is obtained through flow/pressure controls either onboard the platfomi to the motors or exhaust controls plumed exhaust flow regulators from air piloted shuttle valves.
