Robo-dog for autonomous production control implemented at Severstal enterprise

The robot independently identifies emergency zones and transmits data in real time

At the "Severstal-metiz" site, multi-day tests of a quadruped robot developed with the participation of the R&D team of "Severstal-infocom" have been successfully completed. For several days, the device autonomously moved around the industrial zone, delivering samples and performing monitoring tasks in high-traffic conditions: among rails, overhead cranes, loaders and other technical objects.

The robo-dog demonstrated stable operation without recharging, correctly reacted to dynamic and static obstacles, and confidently navigated in a complex infrastructure. The engineers paid special attention to its ability to autonomous navigation — a technology fully implemented on its own software.

As part of the tests, the robot also performed preventive monitoring in coke-agglomeration production: in the area of the blast furnace tuyere, it monitored the concentration of gases and identified temperature anomalies that could provoke emergency situations.

At the coke-chemical production, the device conducted a thermal imaging inspection of the sections of coke batteries and recorded the presence of flame — all in a fully autonomous mode.

Following the tests, the developers confirmed the readiness of the technologies for further scaling. It is planned to adapt the software platform for simpler mobile solutions — wheeled and tracked rovers.
