Also, Columbia says that the Millennium Pipeline Project will use a robotic internal monitoring device known as a "smart pig," which patrols the inside of the pipeline.
NASA would receive an additional $1 billion in 2011 both to get the new launcher on track and to bolster the agency's fleet of robotic Earth-monitoring spacecraft.
It can be scaled in area and is expected to be used in fields such as robotics, security monitoring, industrial automation, artificial intelligence, and health monitoring.
They have found prolific applications in a wide range of domains which include cell phone monitoring, robotic exploration, disaster management, intrusion detection and medical systems.
They are also suitable for integration with soft robotic devices to monitor the performance status and provide references for feedback control.
With the increasing development of microelectronics, wireless communication and computing, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been more widely used in such areas as robotics, surveillance, environment monitoring, information collection, and so on.
Avitas Systems uses a range of robotic equipment to monitor things like oil and gas pipelines, coolant towers and other crucial equipment, including aerial and underwater drones – and Nvidia's help means it can create software that can help these bots spot the slightest bit of corrosion or variance in equipment before it becomes a dangerous problem.
"Slooh's asteroid research campaign is gathering momentum with Slooh members using the Slooh robotic telescopes to monitor this huge population of potentially hazardous space rocks.
Java technologies are used to develop a remote manipulation system for the parallel robotic attachment, including remote monitoring and control.
We proceed as follows: Section 2 provides the state of the art on the sensor- and robotic agent-based pipeline monitoring and maintenance systems.
