Astro in Central Process System Facility
Astro, the robot dog conducts inspections in building 64 to spare the employees ears in this extremely loud environment. The facility is extremely loud even with double hearing protection, so Glenn has come up with an alternative to keep the employees safe. Astro is operated by staff via remote control, is fitted with an infrared camera with 40 times zoom, utilizes thermography and a microphone and can navigate all three levels of the facility.
