Abstract: Provided is a process including: receiving inspection path information indicating a path for a robot to travel, and a plurality of locations along the path to inspect; determining, based on information received via a location sensor, that a distance between a location of the robot and a first location of the plurality of locations is greater than a threshold distance; in response, causing a refrigeration system of an optical gas imaging (OGI) camera to decrease cooling; moving along the path; in response to determining that the robot is at a first location of the plurality of locations, sending a second command to the sensor system, wherein the second command causes the refrigeration system of the OGI camera to increase cooling; causing the sensor system to record a first video with an OGI camera; and causing the sensor system to store the first video in memory.

Abstract: Provided is a process including: obtaining a first set of one or more images generated via an optical gas imaging (OGI) camera and a second set of one or more images generated via a second camera, wherein the first set and the second set correspond to a first location of a plurality of locations in a facility; classifying, via a convolutional neural network (CNN), the first set of one or more images according to whether the one or more images depict a gas leak; and storing a result of classifying the first set in memory.

Abstract: Robots and sensor systems may be used to inspect facilities or other infrastructure and detect gas leaks. A process may include obtaining path information indicating a path for the robot to travel, and locations along the path to inspect with the sensor system. The robot may move along the path and may determine, based on information received via a location sensor, that the robot is at a first location of the locations indicated by the path information. In response to determining that the robot is at the first location, the robot may adjust the sensor system based on first orientation information associated with the first location. An image or video may be recorded via the sensor system.
