... Abstract Over the past few years, many communications were made by robot manufacturers showing inspection robot prototypes on production sites. As the first autonomous and explosion proof inspection robots become commercial, and even if oil & gas operators are more and more interested, many...

...), and gas-sensing through devices mounted on autonomous robots or drones, possibly mixed with stand-alone fixed devices. This "mobile sensor" approach is ideal for existing infrastructure where adding enhanced sensing capabilities with an IoT solution is cost prohibitive. It is flexible: if a site...

... shift. Digital technologies and robotics have helped operators to considerably lower Person on Board (POB) count on existing attended facilities. This reduced operating expenses (OPEX). Due to minimal operators presence, these facilities require smaller hotel facilities and safety escape devices...
