This kind of patrolled security, here on an oil rig, has been mentioned here before. Could be a mix of telepresence, and specific patrol routing. With camera recording of visual, auditory and contextual information. That is data that can be fed into pattern tracking machine learning.
Boston Dynamics Dog Robot Learns New Tricks on BP Oil Rig By Catherine Koppel in Reuters
Boston Dynamics is programming its "Spot" dog robot to read gauges, look for corrosion, construct maps, and detect methane leaks, now that it is working on a British Petroleum (BP) oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
