■ Battery Check: Ensure the robot is fully charged after each shift by checking the battery level. Also, ensure it is plugged in the charger or charging/docking station.

■ Docking Station Inspection: Ensure the docking stations are free of obstructions and functioning properly. Also ensure they have not been moved or misaligned; if so, move them back to their initial position.

■ Connectivity Check: Check Wi-Fi or network connectivity to ensure that robot remains responsive to remote commands or updates.

■ Operational Check: After power-on, inspect the robot’s calibration routine that is turning on the spot right-and-left. If calibration fails, restart the robot by powering off and on. Once started, log on and check the robot health status from the Control Panel to ensure operational readiness.

■ Surface Cleaning: Wipe down external surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, or any spills, especially on cameras and ultrasonic sensors, as well as on the display.

■ Hardware Inspection: Check robot’s cover panels, including screws, connectors, as well as sensors and display screen to ensure they are secure, not loosen, and function correctly.

■ Log Review: Review operational logs for any recurring issues or anomalies by opening the Status tab. Address any patterns that could indicate a developing problem.

■ Performance Testing: Run comprehensive performance tests, including navigation accuracy, obstacle avoidance, and task execution efficiency by operating the robot as normal (serve, deliver, transport, or escort) using different scenarios. Upon failure, adjust settings as needed.

■ Emergency Protocol Test: Test all emergency stop functions and ensure that all fail-safe mechanisms are operational by forcing the robot perform an immediate stop. Hard stop; refers to the emergency-stop button. Soft stop; refers to the screen-tap or front head-touch. Nav stop; refers to jumping to the front of the robot during navigation.

■ Software Audit: Conduct a full audit of the software, ensuring all applications are running efficiently and are up-to-date with the latest protocols.
