Demonstrating our platform for autonomous robotic inspection
Regular inspections are crucial for maintaining efficiency in industrial and manufacturing facilities, but they come with challenges like ensuring data accuracy, managing costs, and mitigating safety risks. AI is transforming how these challenges are addressed, offering new possibilities. While many companies seek to automate inspections, existing tools often fall short. IoT sensors are limited by their immobility, and mobile robotic solutions can be complex to deploy. AI allows companies to reduce risks, predict machine failures, and detect inefficiencies earlier. Reliable data is key to this future, and robotics enhance data collection from critical assets.
Recognizing these needs, Fremont Robotics has been developing FullAware: A web platform simplifying the integration of robotics in industrial facilities. FullAware enables easy deployment of mobile robots for inspections, allowing users to create and schedule autonomous missions, control robots remotely, and manage inspection data. The platform identifies trends impacting operations and provides alerts when maintenance is needed.
FullAware enhances data collection without overburdening inspection teams, seamlessly integrating with legacy systems. Its user-friendly interface enables those without robotics expertise to operate a fleet of robots. The platform supports a variety of robots, from wheeled to legged and even drones, with an expanding list of compatible platforms.
FullAware enhances inspection processes by enabling users to schedule and monitor missions, providing live feeds, teleoperation controls, and detailed robot data. It simplifies data organization and helps identify when maintenance is needed. The platform ensures that anyone can manage and operate robots effectively.
The platform also includes manual control options with built-in safety features. Robots can avoid obstacles and prevent collisions, whether they are being controlled remotely or navigating autonomously. This blend of manual control and autonomous safeguards enhances productivity without sacrificing workplace safety.
Looking ahead, Fremont Robotics plans to explore outdoor navigation, expand sensor packages, and work with more autonomous platforms like quadrupeds and humanoids to meet evolving industrial needs.
