Business Context

Utilities need repeatable inspection and operation workflows in environments designed for trained personnel rather than fixed automation.

Operational Challenge

The robot must navigate to a target, understand work instructions, align with an operation area and correct motion as conditions change.

System Configuration

ANIGON FA-L, FAM manipulation policy, local perception stack, force-controlled arms and site-specific safety constraints.

Deployment Conditions

Selected indoor substations and test areas with mapped routes, approved procedures and trained supervision.

Workflow

  1. Autonomous Navigation
  2. Target Recognition
  3. Position Deviation Analysis
  4. Operation Area Alignment
  5. Instruction Understanding
  6. Complex Manipulation
  7. Dynamic Correction

Core technology

  • FAM
  • Spatial Keypoints
  • Force Control
  • Human-in-the-Loop RL

Measured value

Evaluation fields are configurable and must be populated from the approved pilot report.

Deployment objective

The workflow is designed to connect a utility work order with a sequence of robot navigation, recognition, alignment and manipulation steps. The robot receives a structured task, approaches the assigned operation area and validates position before acting.

Closed-loop operation

Visual understanding identifies the target and relevant control geometry. Force-controlled manipulation and environment feedback support dynamic correction when the observed state differs from the expected state.

Safety and authorization

Critical operations require site-specific constraints, approved operating procedures, human authorization and a separate safety-control layer. The case study does not imply unsupervised use in every utility environment.
