Access and environment come first
Mobile and quadruped inspection robots have different mobility and payload constraints. Assess surfaces, gradients, stairs, gaps, doorways and obstructions against the actual platform specification. Battery management, docking and recovery routes also affect the operating plan.
Temperature, rain, dust, lighting and communications coverage may limit operation. Do not assume a robot is explosion-protected or permitted in a hazardous area. Any certification and site authorisation must match the specific platform, configuration and intended zone.
