SBIR/STTR Award attributes
The Voice-Directed Inspection and Reporting System (VDIRS) will use Cobalt’s Virtual Maintenance and Testing Assistant (VMTA) to enable maintenance technicians to use their voice to take notes, fill in forms, confirm the completion of each step in a system inspection workflow, and proceed to the next step in the overall process. Paired with an optional AR headset, the technician can take pictures or short videos to enhance the documentation and data. By using the VDIRS management console, technicians can collect analytics to measure the effectiveness of the VDIRS. VDIRS hands-free capability can improve technicians’ productivity, reduce errors, improve safety, and shorten training time by eliminating manual data entry and look-up time on laptops, handheld devices, or paper forms.
