USE CASE · INDUSTRY
Inspection quadruped robot: the operator round, done the same way every day
The robot walks the same route every day, stops at the same points and records images, temperatures and readings. Technicians review the deviations and step in where needed.
IN BRIEF
Updated
An inspection quadruped walks the rounds of a plant, substation or chemical site on its own and collects images, thermal views and readings at each checkpoint.
The DEEP Robotics X30 Pro is IP67, works from -20 to 55 °C, climbs stairs and slopes up to 45° and runs 2.5 to 4 h per battery according to its manufacturer.
Robot Distribution fits it with the sensors your site needs, records the rounds, trains the teams and maintains it, to buy, rent or as RaaS.
WHY
Industrial inspection rounds
On an industrial site, the operator round is repetitive: the same pumps, the same gauges, the same motors, day and night. It also runs through noisy, hot, elevated or exposed areas where human presence is best kept short.
The quadruped does that round on schedule, with the same camera angles every time. Dated, located data make drifts visible sooner, and technicians keep their time for diagnosis and repair.
HOW IT RUNS
How a round runs with the robot.
The round is recorded once
At commissioning the site is mapped and checkpoints are set: cabinets, valves, gauges, motor bearings, possible leak points.
The robot leaves on schedule
It leaves its dock, follows its route, climbs metal stairs and crosses gratings, stopping for obstacles and people.
It records each point
At each checkpoint it turns to the target and records photos, video, a thermal image or a gas reading, depending on the sensors fitted for the site.
The team handles deviations
Readings go to the control room. A hot spot, a needle out of range or a suspected leak triggers a check by a technician.

BEFORE INSTALLING
What the site survey checks before installation.
The actual route
Stairs, gratings, sills, ramps and narrow passages are noted along the whole round: the robot must complete it end to end without help.
Hazardous areas
ATEX zoning is checked. A robot only enters a classified zone if it is certified for that zone; otherwise the round goes around it.
Network and supervision
Wi-Fi or private network coverage along the route, and how readings reach your supervision system or CMMS.
The right sensors
Thermal camera, optical zoom, gas detector, microphone: chosen for what each checkpoint needs, not a standard kit.
FAQ
Site managers' questions about robotic inspection.
Can the robot work at night and outdoors?
Yes. The DEEP Robotics X30 Pro is IP67, operates from -20 to 55 °C and its perception is designed to work in darkness according to its manufacturer. The Unitree B2 is also IP67, the DEEP Robotics LYNX M20 IP66.
How long does a round last on one battery?
The manufacturer states 2.5 to 4 h for the X30 Pro, with quick battery swap, and 4 to 6 h for the Unitree B2. A longer round is split into several routes or continued after a battery swap.
Does the robot read gauges and detect leaks?
It carries the sensors and brings them to the right spot, at the same angle every time. Gauge reading, thermal imaging and gas detection depend on the sensors and software chosen for your site during the survey.
Can we test the robot on our site?
Yes: a demo on part of your round, or a short rental to try it in your real conditions before deciding.
USE CASES
CNC machine tendingThe cobot does the repetitive move at the machine door. The setter keeps the skilled work: programs, tooling, measuring and first-off parts.
End-of-line palletizingThe cobot builds the pallets at the end of the line. The operator no longer lifts cases: he supplies, wraps, moves full pallets out and watches production.
Collaborative weldingThe welder keeps the craft: preparation, tacking, setting parameters and checking the welds. The cobot takes the repetitive welds of the batch.
Line-side feedingThe mobile robot runs the milk run between stores and the line. Operators no longer leave their station to fetch parts, and the storekeeper prepares instead of driving.
Exoskeletons for overhead workA shoulder exoskeleton supports the arms when they rise above chest height, without changing the tool or the movement. The operator keeps full precision; the device carries part of the weight of the arms.
Confined-space drone inspectionThe drone goes into the tank, boiler or silo instead of the inspector and brings back images, video and 3D data. Inspectors keep the analysis, the regulatory measurements and the repair decisions.
