and specifically designed payloads to meet operational objectives.
Use Cases
Field Patrol
Field patrol with robots offers enhanced efficiency, continuous monitoring capabilities, and improved safety for personnel. Whilst
there are also challenges presented in relations to technology integration, maintenance, and ethical considerations.
The robots perform routine surveillance tasks at field autonomously, at a scheduled time and on demand.
Robots become the “eyes,” “ears,” and “nose” of the plant with a combination of different sensors to detect anomalies and
monitor the assets with AI analysis.

Color Degradation Diagnosis Using Robot with AI Solution
A color degradation diagnosis system employs a robot integrated with an AI image analyzer to assess objects for color changes. The
sensors capture data on hue and brightness, which AI algorithms interpret to diagnose degradation severity. The system then flags
items for maintenance, offering fast and accurate assessments to preserve object quality and value.
