A three-dimensional model data store may contain a three-dimensional model of an industrial asset, including points of interest associated with the industrial asset. An inspection plan data store may contain an inspection plan for the industrial asset, including a path of movement for an autonomous inspection robot. An industrial asset inspection platform may receive sensor data from an autonomous inspection robot indicating characteristics of the industrial asset and determine a current location of the autonomous inspection robot along the path of movement in the inspection plan along with current context information. A forward simulation of movement for the autonomous inspection robot may be executed from the current location, through a pre-determined time window, to determine a difference between the path of movement in the inspection plan and the forward simulation of movement along with future context information.

System and method providing situational awareness for autonomous asset inspection robot monitor

Provided are systems and methods for monitoring an asset via an autonomous model-driven inspection. In an example, the method may include storing an inspection plan including a virtually created three-dimensional (3D) model of a travel path with respect to a virtual asset that is created in virtual space, converting the virtually created 3D model of the travel path about the virtual asset into a physical travel path about a physical asset corresponding to the virtual asset, autonomously controlling vertical and lateral movement of the unmanned robot in three dimensions with respect to the physical asset based on the physical travel path and capturing data at one or more regions of interest, and capturing data at one or more regions of interest, and storing information concerning the captured data about the asset.

Three-dimensional robotic inspection system

A method, computer-readable medium, and system including a speech-to-text module to receive an input of speech including one or more words generated by a human and to output data including text, sentiment information, and other parameters corresponding to the speech input; a processing module like Artificial Intelligence to generate a reply to the speech input, the reply including a textual component, sentimental information associated with the textual component, and contextual information associated with the textual component; and a text-to-speech module to receive the textual component, sentimental information, and contextual information and to generate, based on the received textual component and its associated sentimental information and contextual information, a speech output including one or more spoken words, the spoken words to be presented with at least one of a pace, a tone, a volume, and an emphasis representative of the sentimental information and contextual information associated with the textual component.

Intelligent human-machine conversation framework with speech-to-text and text-to-speech

A system and method for remotely providing expert assistance receive identification information from a mobile device that is representative of a component and communicate the identification information to remotely located expert personnel. The system and method also receive an expert-identified work scope that includes guidance information for display on the mobile device to guide the operator through diagnosing, repairing, testing, and/or replacing the component. The system and method also store the expert-identified work scope and the identification information such that the expert-identified work scope is associated with the identification information. The system and method compare subsequently received identification information with the stored identification information and automatically select and communicate the expert-identified work scope based on comparing the subsequently received identification information with the stored identification information.
