ANYbotics uses AWS to deploy a global robot workforce for industrial inspections
ANYbotics, a pioneering company at the forefront of autonomous mobile robots, is using AWS to deploy their global robot workforce. They revolutionize the operation of large industrial facilities by providing intelligent inspection solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Connecting the physical and digital assets, ANYbotics helps companies with cutting-edge robotics technology to create an environment where robots and humans can work seamlessly together to achieve better results.
Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a business model that offers robots and robotic services to customers on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis, rather than selling robots as a one-time product. RaaS is ANYbotics’ preferred model to scale the ANYmal fleet with a fully serviced offering for hardware and software. It’s a flexible business model without the need for upfront investments for their customers.
By using AWS services, ANYbotics can scale their applications up and down, depending on the current workload. They can add compute resources on demand within minutes and use the pay-as-you-go pricing model to operate cost efficiently. This is crucial for ANYbotics since they can easily adapt to fluctuation in the number of robots or the complexity of tasks without investing in on-premises hardware that might be underutilized during periods of lower demand. Scaling up is essential to ensure the future readiness of operating a growing fleet of ANYmal robots and meet the demand for more complex task solving applications.
🛣️ America’s Bridges, Factories and Highways Are in Dire Need of Repairs. Bring in the Robots.
These days, Shell is able to keep the plant running, and keep repair personnel on the ground and at a safe distance as they operate wall-climbing robots that inspect things like steel holding tanks at millimeter resolution, says Steven Treviño, a robotics engineer at Shell. Using a variety of sensors, the robots can look for both corrosion and cracking. This helps the team shorten the list of things they have to take care of when a full shutdown occurs. The magnetic wall climbers Shell is using are made by a Pittsburgh-based startup called, appropriately, Gecko Robotics. After testing the Gecko robots at Geismar, Shell plans to expand their use to offshore facilities.
“There are hundreds of types of corrosion,” says Jake Loosararian, CEO of Gecko Robotics, “and we’ve been developing technology and software to analyze what kind of damage is happening.” Gecko began as a robotics company, but has since expanded into creating software to process the data its robots gather. The startup makes systems that are now used to track more than 60,000 assets across the globe, including power plants, pipelines, oil refineries, dams, U.S. Navy vessels and other military equipment.
When it comes to inspections, “often the data you need is literally in plain sight, it’s just hard to collect it,” says Bry, of Skydio.
