Energy Robotics offers a hardware‑agnostic, cloud‑based software platform that unifies control of diverse inspection robots and drones for autonomous monitoring of industrial assets. The platform orchestrates inspection missions, captures multi‑modal sensor data, and applies AI‑driven Skills to deliver actionable insights—such as gauge readings, gas leak detection, and fence defect identification—through an API and web dashboard for integration with existing asset‑management systems.

Problem
Industrial facilities such as oil & gas plants, chemical factories, and power utilities must perform frequent inspections of hard‑to‑reach assets (tanks, pipelines, fences, gauges, etc.). Manual inspections are labor‑intensive, expose personnel to hazards, and generate large volumes of unstructured sensor data that are difficult to analyze quickly for early fault detection.
Solution
Energy Robotics provides a hardware‑agnostic software platform that unifies the control of multiple inspection robots and drones into a single cloud‑based system. The platform orchestrates autonomous inspection missions, collects sensor data (visual, thermal, gas, audio, etc.), and applies AI‑driven “Skills” to extract actionable insights such as gauge readings, valve states, gas leaks, water accumulation, and fence defects. Results are delivered through an API and web dashboard, enabling integration with existing asset‑management and maintenance systems for predictive maintenance and rapid response. The solution supports both on‑site and remote operation, including BVLOS‑approved drone flights, allowing continuous monitoring across large, distributed facilities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operations and maintenance teams at large‑scale oil & gas, chemical, and power & utilities enterprises that need automated, continuous inspection of remote or hazardous assets.
Features
- Unified fleet management for heterogeneous robots and drones via a single cloud interface
- Containerized AI “Skills” that process sensor data for specific inspection tasks (e.g., analog gauge reading, valve detection, gas leak mapping, fence defect detection, person detection with privacy‑preserving face blurring)
- Real‑time AI data processing and instant alert generation for predictive maintenance
- API and web dashboard for seamless integration with asset‑management and EAM systems
- Support for BVLOS‑approved autonomous drone missions, including automatic docking and charging stations
- Flexible deployment on any standard robot hardware (e.g., Spot, ExR‑2, Inspector, Mavic 3T) without vendor lock‑in
- Cloud sandbox environment ensuring data security and privacy‑by‑design
