First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, via at least one sensor of a robot, sensor data indicating one or more characteristics of an asset;
detecting, based on the sensor data, an existing or imminent defect of the asset; and
perform a corrective action that corrects the defect, wherein the structure of the part is derived using one or both of a digital representation of the asset generated using the sensor data or stored reference data related to the asset.

Abstract
A method includes receiving, via at least one sensor of a robot, sensor data indicating one or more characteristics of an asset. The method includes detecting, based on the sensor data, an existing or imminent defect of the asset. The method includes fabricating a part suitable for use in correcting the defect. The structure of the part is derived using one or both of a digital representation of the asset generated using the sensor data or stored reference data related to the asset.

8. A robotic system configured to monitor an asset, comprising:
-
at least one robot comprising at least one sensor capable of detecting one or more characteristics of an asset and at least one effector capable of performing a repair or maintenance operation on the asset; and a processing system comprising at least one processor operatively coupled to at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to; receive, via at least one sensor of a robot, sensor data indicating one or more characteristics of an asset; detect, based on the sensor data, an existing or imminent defect of the asset; and perform a corrective action that corrects the defect using one or both of a digital representation of the asset or stored reference data related to the asset. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to be executed by a processor of a robotic system comprising at least one robot, wherein the instructions comprise instructions configured to cause the processor to:
-
receive, via at least one sensor of the at least one robot, sensor data indicating one or more characteristics of an asset; detect, based on the sensor data, an existing or imminent defect of the asset; and fabricate a part suitable for correcting the defect using one or both of a digital representation of the asset or stored reference data related to the asset.
