Project description
Robots and AI changing the future of inspections
Some robots can conduct inspections in industrial and hazardous environments using sensors, cameras and other technologies. The EU-funded edge air project will revolutionise the field of autonomous inspection robots by using advanced on the edge AI technologies. Their robot agnostic AI-driven software platform enables a diverse fleet of mobile robots to autonomously conduct routine inspections in industrial plants, including remote and hazardous facilities. With the use of semantic scene understanding, deeply connected data analysis and novel sense and react capabilities, the platform provides artificial ‘common sense’ for execution of inspections in unstructured and frequently changing industrial environments. The project has the potential to expand into new segments – from mining and construction to security and agriculture.
Objective
Energy Robotics proposes an end-to-end robot agnostic AI-driven software platform that enables a diverse fleet of mobile robots to autonomously conduct routine inspections in industrial plants, including remote and hazardous facilities. The use of innovative on-the-edge Artificial Intelligence technologies for robotic awareness of the surrounding environment (semantic scene understanding, deeply connected data analysis and novel sense & react capabilities) will change the paradigm of Autonomous Inspection Robots (AIRs), enabling artificial common sense for execution of inspections in unstructured and frequently changing industrial environments.
Edge AIR will unlock the full potential for our product in currently targeted industries (oil & gas, energy and chemical) and in new segments, such as mining, construction, security & surveillance and agriculture, that present large demand for inspection in constantly changing environments and robots capable of supervised manipulation.
