The objective of this study is to examine methods through which this value will be brought to the industry and analyze the impact of these technologies in enabling Industrial...

...Summary Summary A novel high-resolution acoustic imaging technology was developed for the identification of downhole obstructions, restrictions, and casing damage in real time. This system is the first downhole imaging platform that incorporates an articulated robotic head to capture...

... gravitating towards software and algorithms, and today’s workers are resigning themselves to the fact that computers and robots will one day "take over" and do much of their work. The adoption of AI and how it might affect career prospects is currently causing a lot of anxiety among industry professionals...

... and the arrays of chemical formulations were screened by utilizing high throughput robotics 2 - 4 , using CMC as the selection guide. To validate the concept, several known corrosion inhibitor formulas were selected to optimize their efficacy. Each formula contained several active ingredients...

...Abstract Abstract Robotics is often referred to as an enabler towards safer and more cost-effective operations within the energy industry. However, for robots to achieve their full potential they too require their own enablers. This paper intends to present a collection of lessons learnt...

... Abstract This paper identifies the interdependency and impact of the maintenance of assets with the use of robotics in combination with artificial intelligence to support the modern ‘Operator 4.0’. The execution of high-quality, well-planned and efficiently-executed maintenance is crucial...

... Abstract In this paper, the results and methodology of a framework to enable run-time safety compliance and self-certification of robotics is presented. This transferable framework is verified within a practical demonstration scenario, based on asset inspection within a confined space...

... Abstract Normally Unattended Installations with presence of people on site only once per year (NUI-1Y) for maintenance campaigns is the ultimate aim of unmanned concepts and a new frontier for cost reduction. Ground robotics is one enabler of this goal. This new technology is in its infancy...
