Jaguar Land Rover Robot watchdog “Rover” produced by Boston Dynamics has been added to the team of employees at the Electric Vehicle (EV) production and testing facility in England.

The electric vehicle production and testing facility in England, which plays an important role in Jaguar Land Rover’s plan to offer an electric version of all its models by 2030, helps teams save time and increase environmental safety by detecting possible operational problems and problems such as equipment wear early. Robot watchdog Rover undertakes important tasks.

In a testing facility with thousands of objects requiring constant monitoring, Rover’s watchdog role is critical for both Jaguar Land Rover and its human counterparts. The robot guard dog, which has its own kennel at the facility just like a guard dog, can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In order to fulfill its duties, it can follow predetermined routes throughout the facility and patrol non-stop, even in areas with heavy traffic, using artificial intelligence. In addition, he is not distracted by external factors such as loud noises.

Eliminates Risks

Robot watchdog that constantly takes measurements and inspects machines; It allows engineers to make better use of their time while eliminating the risk of human error. It can collect large amounts of data that teams can analyze to perform more efficient maintenance and repair.

Able to quickly evaluate test battery temperatures to improve environmental safety roverBy detecting possible operational and equipment problems early, it ensures that testing and development phases continue as planned before the launch of new electric versions.

The robot guard dog, which can perform its duties with great skill thanks to the dexterity provided by its four legs and robot arm, hears potential gas leaks that the human ear cannot detect and uses its thermal sensors to quickly evaluate battery temperatures, allowing technicians to continue their work safely.

The robot guard dog can be sent to the required location to evaluate potentially dangerous situations, assess the risk level in advance and warn human colleagues in advance.

Partnering with industry leaders to increase the use of next-generation smart machines that will help improve safety and productivity in the workplace, Jaguar Land Rover aims to increase the number of robot guard dogs to 10 within the next year.
