Sensor & Payload

Infrared Imaging

Use it when abnormal heat is a useful indicator of condition or operation.

Technology overview

How it works

Measures emitted infrared radiation to map apparent surface temperature and identify thermal patterns.

Where it adds value

Solar PV screening; electrical and mechanical assets; process equipment; fire / heat-source monitoring; night-time inspection.

Combine it with

Pair with RGB for visual context; UAV / UGV for coverage; edge AI for automated anomaly alerts. Add another modality when the root cause cannot be resolved from temperature alone.

Practical note

Most effective as a fast screening tool; interpretation depends on emissivity, viewing geometry and operating conditions.

Systems that carry it

PV inspection robot

Autonomous cleaning + multimodal inspection robot

Autonomous photovoltaic robot with attitude control, inclination and edge sensing. Carries visible, multispectral, infrared and terahertz sensing through one clean-scan-locate-reinspect-archive workflow.
