…gas, or paper industries is often a difficult process. Manufacturing sites, industrial plants, and refineries are home to complex machinery, electrical equipment, and vessels that are incredibly difficult to inspect. They also involve navigating dangerous conditions such as high-heat environments or dealing with hazardous materials. For this reason, much of the time, it’s too difficult for humans to carry out basic, safe inspections. Therefore, engineers are increasingly turning to robots to augment or replace people in hazardous use cases. However, these industrial environments are often devoid of GPS, which can make it impossible for robots that rely on this technology…
