Yes. Most XBOT models are equipped with cameras that offer 360-degree pan and tilt capabilities, allowing for comprehensive visual inspections.
10. Is the live video feed high-resolution?
Yes. XBOT robots provide a real-time view in full 4k resolution, ensuring that what you see on the control computer matches the recorded video.
11. Can XBOT robots operate in wired mode?
Yes. XBOT robots can be connected to a control tablet via an Ethernet cable, which is particularly useful in environments where wireless connection may be unreliable, such as ductwork.
12. What job and media management options do XBOT robots offer?
XBOT robots support job management, allowing users to define job locations and names. They also store photos and videos in dedicated job folders, include a high-quality image editing utility, and offer flexible storage options on the control tablet or USB memory stick.
13. How do XBOT robots avoid falls and collisions?
XBOT models can be equipped with forward-looking sonar to prevent collisions and down-looking sonar to prevent falls. The patented "Never-stuck" system also enables XBOTs to traverse pipes and other obstacles.
14. Can XBOT robots measure distances?
Yes, depending on the model. Some XBOTs offer laser ranging with millimeter accuracy, forward-looking sonar for obstacle distance, and a tape-measure feature to display cumulative distance traveled.
15. Can XBOT robots see over tall obstacles?
Yes. Certain XBOT models feature a mast system that raises the camera, and a "PEEK-A-BOO" mode that allows the robot to approach and peek over obstacles.
