The operator found the robot's mobility well-suited to a working job site, but reported it repeatedly failed to interpret site context, got stuck in difficult positions, and needed rescuing, with mapping failures traced to insufficient onboard processing power.
- Handles stairs, uneven ground and tight indoor spaces well on a real construction site
- Reveals navigation hazards that simulation/lab testing can't surface
- Useful for off-hours autonomous monitoring, freeing up human crews
- Struggles to interpret context: fragile objects, red caution tape, active human work zones
- Insufficient processing power causes mapping failures requiring human intervention
- Gets stuck in difficult positions and needs to be rescued
