Robotic Inspection
Services
Autonomous inspection of critical equipment and facilities — detecting anomalies, monitoring conditions, and generating detailed data without putting personnel at risk.
Any Environment. Any Hazard. Any Time.
Agile mobile robots like Boston Dynamics Spot are designed to fill the automation gap — navigating complex environments and going anywhere people can, recovering from slips, rerouting around obstacles, and delivering repeatable precision on every mission.
Operators can create autonomous inspection missions for Spot to regularly and reliably collect the site and asset data your teams need to work more effectively. With onboard cameras and add-on payloads, Spot conducts visual, thermal, radiation, acoustic, and laser scan inspections — and unlike fixed sensors, can be redeployed to new areas as needs evolve.
Boston Dynamics Spot conducting autonomous thermal inspection
Dynamic Sensing Across Every Modality
A single redeployable platform that collects multiple data types on every mission — more flexible than fixed sensors and significantly safer than manual inspection.
Visual Inspection
High-resolution PTZ camera with 25× zoom for detailed visual assessment of equipment, gauges, and structural conditions at any distance.
Thermal Imaging
Integrated IR camera for detecting heat anomalies, electrical faults, equipment overheating, and thermal baseline deviations — before failures occur.
Acoustic Monitoring
Detect gas leaks, bearing failures, and abnormal mechanical sounds that are inaudible to humans — identifying issues before they become failures.
Radiation Detection
Keep personnel completely out of radiation zones while maintaining consistent, documented inspection schedules in nuclear and radiological environments.
3D Laser Scanning
Create precise 3D models and digital twins of facilities, track structural changes over time, and compare as-built conditions against design specifications.
Gauge Reading (AI)
Integrated AI gauge reading models convert analog displays into digital analytics — automatically capturing equipment health data and triggering alerts when values go out of range.
Inspection That Works While Your Team Sleeps
Actel Robotics deploys Spot to perform autonomous inspection missions on your schedule — day, night, or lights-out. Each mission follows a predefined route, captures every data point, and delivers results to your fleet management dashboard in real time.
The data captured can be integrated directly with your enterprise asset management (EAM) solution to trigger alerts or work orders automatically — eliminating the lag between a detected issue and a maintenance response.
"Spot is changing how organizations monitor and operate their sites, ensure the safety of their teams, and make data-driven decisions."
Predict Failures Before They Happen
The goal of Industry 4.0 isn't just anticipating machinery repairs — it's predicting them with precision. Agile mobile robots like Spot are a data collection powerhouse, increasing the quality and depth of your equipment and facility data for more predictable outcomes.
Compared to traditional fixed sensors and manual inspection rounds, Spot can:
