Application: Tele-Operated Field Robots for Hazardous Working Environments

Description

Field robots are a revolutionary way to perform inspections or maintenance in remote or hard to access locations in a workplace. Furthermore, they can be deployed to perform tasks that are either too dangerous or too laborious for human workers. The accuracy and the reliability also make field robots a top-choice to perform mission-critical tasks.

Devices

  • Robot, 360-degree camera, PTZ (pan-tile-zoom) Camera, stereo camera, RGB-D Camera, Infrared Illumination, depth Camera
