InRobot [Early Adopter]

Robots have matured in recent years, and even though some companies still struggle with turning robot data into bottom-line impact, a lot of ground has been covered. Cognite uses our software and experience to streamline the end-to-end user journey for enabling robotics. With InRobot, robot operations are made simple , enabling you to benefit from scale-up . With this, Cognite invites our customers to join an early adopter program for InRobot , allowing the journey of automating your processes to begin. Get value out of your robot deployments. With InRobot and Cognite Data Fusion, we help you automate part of your operator rounds. In addition to the repetitive data capture, simple condition monitoring and failure mode detection can be performed. As part of the early adopter program, you will be able to deploy robots for: Perform daily visual operator rounds with available data through a simple UI for onsite and remote process operators. Simple Condition monitoring-based image, thermographic and sensor measurements, including extracted values from dials, digital and level gauges pictures, and thermal cameras. Data will be available as time series, and simple monitoring rules can be set up with ease to notify relevant users . Facilitate robot-assisted observations in the field under the teleoperation of the robot with a live view also powered by navigate to asset functionality for more efficient navigation. As part of the Cognite InRobot early adopter program, you will build solutions for the industry's future. With InRobot and Cognite Data Fusion you get the most powerful tools within industrial automation. The product team will follow you through this journey, allowing for a quicker path to value for your robotics program. We are looking forward to interacting with you, get your feedback and knowledge and transform the industry together

Autonomous operator rounds, by collecting repetitive images and thermal images for hot-spots detection and general visual inspection. Some tasks can be automated, sucha as gauge reading, level gauge reading etc. and is provided in time-series Autonomous scanning, generating street-view in the Digital Twin if the robot has 360 camera. Equipment monitoring, for example, anomaly gauge or temperature reading. Are 3D models needed? Currently 3D improve the experience of InRobot, especially how all assets are localized in 3D, however InRobot can visualize Plot plans and Point-clouds, interactivity between the Plot plans and point-clouds and the roboti is limited. Wow does the future development look like, what is the roadmap? The road-map is seen bellow, it can potentially change, but shows the path in which the development is going

In this article we give instructions on how to use InRobot. In addition we gather all potential issues that can arise and document work around while we are working on a better user flow. Don’t see the answer to your question or issues? Post as a reply in this thread and we’ll be sure to answer and/or add it to the list below! How to: Remote control of the robot Using the robot map Make sure a robot map (waypoints) is loaded on the robot and the robot is localized In the 3D model: click the waypoint closest to where you want the robot to go In the left side control tab, choose “Smart navigation” and “Navigate to waypoint” Using the camera stream This method does not require a map to be loaded on the robot In the dropdown where you can choose the content for one of the split screens, find the “Navigate to” toggle Toggle on In the stream screen, choose any of the streams with “360” Now you can click on the point in the 360 part of the stream where you want the robot to go. Setup InRobot to generate a street-view with Spot The flow from generating street-view is explained in this post: Trouble shooting It looks like there is some positioning issue with the Robot, the robot is hanging in the air and? locate the blue buton in the 3D map view and press “upload map” I am not able to see the option in the upper right corner of aligning the the map? This issue can happen, if the robot doesn’t have a proper location. revisit the instalation step: https://docs.preview.cogniteapp.com/inrobot/guides/admin#4-run-setup-script-to-setup-project
