Omegabot - Maintenance

PLAN

1. Daily Checks

Battery Check

Ensure the robot is fully charged after each shift by checking the battery level. Also, ensure it is plugged in the charger or charging/docking station.

Docking Station Inspection

Ensure the docking stations are free of obstructions and functioning properly. Also ensure they have not been moved or misaligned; if so, move them back to their initial position.

Connectivity Check

Check Wi-Fi or network connectivity to ensure that robot remains responsive to remote commands or updates.

2. Weekly Maintenance

Operational Check

After power-on, inspect the robot’s calibration routine that is turning on the spot right-and-left. If calibration fails, restart the robot by powering off and on. Once started, log on and check the robot health status from the Control Panel to ensure operational readiness.

Surface Cleaning

Wipe down external surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, or any spills, especially on cameras and ultrasonic sensors, as well as on the display.

3. Quarterly Inspections

Hardware Inspection

Check robot’s cover panels, including screws, connectors, as well as sensors and display screen to ensure they are secure, not loosen, and function correctly.

Log Review

Review operational logs for any recurring issues or anomalies by opening the Status tab. Address any patterns that could indicate a developing problem.

4. Annual Tests

Performance Testing

Run comprehensive performance tests, including navigation accuracy, obstacle avoidance, and task execution efficiency by operating the robot as normal (serve, deliver, transport, or escort) using different scenarios. Upon failure, adjust settings as needed.

Emergency Protocol Test

Test all emergency stop functions and ensure that all fail-safe mechanisms are operational by forcing the robot perform an immediate stop. Hard stop; refers to the emergency-stop button. Soft stop; refers to the screen-tap or front head-touch. Nav stop; refers to jumping to the front of the robot during navigation.

Software Audit

Conduct a full audit of the software, ensuring all applications are running efficiently and are up-to-date with the latest protocols.

⚠︎ Physical Care

Avoid violent physical interactions with the robot such as vandalism, hitting, pushing, lifting, or climbing in an attempt to damage the robot. Do NOT place any objects on or near the robot’s sensors. Do NOT attempt to remove screws or open the cover panels. Do NOT try to physically repair the robot’s hardware by any means, even in case of malfunction, without contacting Omegabot to grant permission.

⚠︎ Transportation

Keep necessary health and safety standards (ISO45001) when transporting the robot. To move the robot around while it is not operational, simply push it from behind and let it roll smoothly while you have control over it. For loading purposes lifting will be required; in this case, two adults will be needed to bend and hold the robot using both arms from its base between each wheel. Lift the robot with care.

This maintenance plan ensures that your robot operates efficiently, minimising downtime and extending its lifespan.
