Denn in Flugzeugrümpfen gehe es häufig so eng zu, dass Roboter aus Zugänglichkeits- und Platzgründen passen müssen. Daher hat XXX in Zusammenarbeit mit Experten der Luftfahrtindustrie für die Spantenmontage spezielle **Engraumschrauber** entwickelt.

special screwdrivers designed for use in awkward areas
Man könnte eventuell mit einer Phrase operieren: "special screwdrivers designed for use in awkward areas". Im Bereich Arbeitsmaschinen habe ich immer wieder gesehen, dass Engländer überall dort, wo es eng ist, von "awkward areas" sprechen. Spezialwerkzeug ist ebenfalls special tools. Je nach Text könntest du damit gut hinkommen.

snake-arm robot
This is not exactly what you want, but it is very close. This site says:
"Aerospace
Focusing on assembly of aircraft, it is widely recognised by the aerospace industry that existing industrial robots are of limited use. The reason that very few such robots are used is because of the tolerances required during assembly, the scale of the components and the requirement for access to the internals of wings and fuselage.
Snake-arm robots are ideally suited to working on the inside of aircraft: to apply sealant, to clean, for laser welding, for riveting and for inspection. Arms as long as 5m are required for certain applications. Snake-arm robots may be a tool that enable change in the aerospace industry in the way that current industrial robots have transformed the automotive industry. "
This may be more specific than you want, but you might search on the company name (xxx) and see if THEY have some English out there.
