Where people should not have to go.
The strongest case for robotics is the task that endangers a person or that a person performs badly through repetition. Confined spaces, height, heat and radiation are the clearest examples.
Where people should not have to go.
Confined Space
Tanks, vessels and voids inspected without an entry permit and without exposing an inspector.
Height and Structure
Towers, stacks, bridges and facades surveyed without access equipment or rope access.
Subsea and Submerged
Hull, structure and pipeline inspection below the waterline.
Hazardous Environments
Areas where atmosphere, temperature or radiation restrict human presence.
Repetitive Survey
Routine condition monitoring where consistency between surveys matters more than judgement within one.
Data Handling
Inspection output recorded so that condition can be compared over time rather than assessed once.
- The task, described as it is performed today
- Volume and cycle time
- Environment and constraints
- Current cost and headcount
- Safety and regulatory context
- Integration points
- Payback expectation
Autonomous and unmanned systems are subject to safety, privacy, airspace, cybersecurity, export-control and sector-specific requirements. Deployment is assessed by jurisdiction and intended use.
Describe the task.
Volume and variability decide whether automation returns value.
