Overview
Energy infrastructure requires regular inspection in environments that are often hazardous to humans — high-voltage substations, offshore platforms, nuclear facilities, and confined spaces. Humanoid robots can navigate these environments using existing walkways and ladders, operating human-designed controls and tools.
Key Capabilities
- Facility inspection: Visual and thermal assessment of equipment condition
- Hazardous access: Entering radiation zones, confined spaces, and high-voltage areas
- Valve operation: Turning valves, flipping switches, and operating controls
- Data collection: Recording measurements and identifying maintenance needs
