The Observer package includes 360-degree camera coverage, thermal imaging, LiDAR, and optional gas detection sensors. Its ROS-based autonomy stack enables GPS waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance, and automated patrol routes, while Rockwell’s industrial software platform provides fleet management and data analytics integration.
