EleCtrOMate - The Maintenance Co-Worker Bot

[SophieBrause]

EleCtrOMate s a humanoid robot designed to work alongside and  empower service representatives to work independently in electrical maintenance environments by taking on tasks that traditionally require a second person for safety, strength, or compliance reasons. It combines strength, precision, and intelligent diagnostics to support solo technicians in performing tasks that typically require two or more people.

Heavy Lifting & Support

• Human-safe lifting system capable of assisting or fully lifting injured or unconscious personnel during emergencies.
• Load-rated arms and back for lifting heavy electrical components (e.g., transformers, switchgear panels) without strain or risk.
• Stabilization features for holding equipment in place during installation or removal.

Safety-Critical Partner Replacement

• Two-person task simulation: For operations requiring dual verification or simultaneous actions (e.g., lockout/tagout), ElectroMate can act as the second operator with full compliance logging.
• Emergency override and shutdown: Can intervene in unsafe conditions autonomously or via technician command.

Preventive Maintenance Automation

• Routine inspection routines able to report any outputs from the thermal, acoustic, and visual sensors 
• Quick Identification to visually identify wear, corrosion, or electrical anomalies
• Digital reporting synced with asset management systems.

Safety & Compliance

• Arc flash detection and avoidance protocols.
• Real-time environmental monitoring (voltage, current, EMF levels).
• Emergency shutdown and alert system if unsafe conditions are detected.

Smart Collaboration

• Voice and gesture control for intuitive interaction.
• Tool and material handling: Fetches, holds, and passes tools or components as needed.
• Remote operation mode: Can be controlled by a technician from a safe distance in hazardous environments.
• Insight Summarization ability to send/insert information from reports, BMS outputs, other timeseries or documentation information and be able to provide a verbal summary on-site to the FSR
