NTT DATA and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation have developed a Smart Robotics solution for automated facility inspections. The system uses a quadruped robot equipped with AI and active sensing technology to perform autonomous equipment monitoring and anomaly detection in manufacturing facilities. The robot navigates using AR markers and can detect subtle vibrations in pipelines through comprehensive analysis. This innovation addresses labor shortages, improves workplace safety, and reduces the burden of repetitive inspection tasks on human workers. Future developments include remote operation capabilities, enhanced sensing features, and integration with IOWN infrastructure.
