Abstract

A method and system for automatically inspecting an apparatus is provided. The method includes receiving an initial set of software scripts for executing an autonomous inspection process with respect to an apparatus for inspection. A vehicle is directed to a specified geographical location associated with the apparatus for inspection. Hand gesture commands and voice commands of an individual associated with inspecting the apparatus are detected via audio and video retrieval devices of the vehicle and a specified distance is maintained between the vehicle and the individual. In response to the commands, an autonomous inspection process with respect to the apparatus for inspection is executed and a modified set of software scripts for executing future autonomous inspection processes with respect to additional apparatuses for inspection is generated.
