Real-Time Monitoring
- Continuously monitor power levels to ensure the battery does not drop below critical thresholds.
- Observe performance metrics such as CPU, memory usage, and temperature.
- Track movement accuracy and smoothness during operation to detect mechanical issues.
Sensor Feedback
- Verify that vision systems (cameras, LiDAR) are providing accurate data.
- Monitor auditory sensors for responsiveness to commands or environmental sounds.
- Check tactile sensors for any missed or inaccurate feedback.
Communication Systems
- Ensure the robot maintains a stable connection to the control network or operator interface.
- Monitor signal strength for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other communication channels.
- Verify that real-time data transmission is uninterrupted.
Safety Protocols
- Ensure the emergency stop mechanism is accessible and functional throughout the operation.
- Observe for any unexpected collision avoidance behavior.
- Continuously monitor fall detection systems to prevent hazards.
Mobility and Balance
- Check for smooth movement during walking, running, or task execution.
- Monitor the robot’s balance system for any signs of instability or tipping.
- Ensure that all actuators and motors are operating within their normal performance range.
Task-Specific Performance
- Verify the accuracy of task execution according to predefined instructions.
- Observe and record anomalies or delays in task performance.
- Confirm the robot adapts to environmental changes as programmed.
Environmental Interaction
- Monitor the robot’s response to obstacles or dynamic changes in the environment.
- Verify compliance with operational boundaries or restricted zones.
- Ensure human-robot interaction is proceeding safely and as intended.
Error and Alert Handling
- Respond promptly to any system alerts or warnings.
- Log any error messages or abnormal behavior for post-operation review.
- Restart or recalibrate subsystems if minor issues are detected without halting operation.
Thermal and Power Management
- Monitor the robot’s internal temperature to prevent overheating.
- Ensure cooling systems (if applicable) are functioning properly.
- Check for consistent power supply without spikes or drops.
Log and Data Collection
- Record key performance metrics at regular intervals for analysis.
- Capture video or sensor data for critical moments during the operation.
- Ensure storage systems are not reaching capacity during logging.
Operator Communication
- Maintain clear communication between operators and the robot, if applicable.
- Report any potential issues to the operation supervisor immediately.
- Respond to operator commands or manual overrides effectively.
End-of-Shift Readiness
- Prepare for a smooth transition to end-of-operation procedures.
- Log any performance highlights or significant incidents during the operation.
- Ensure the robot remains in a secure and operationally safe state.
This checklist ensures the humanoid robot performs optimally and safely while maintaining its operational efficiency and reliability.
