Care, maintenance & buyers
Customers who buy robots through SVRC — and learners who aspire to operate serious hardware — share one need: keep the platform trustworthy over time. This module ties education to operations: logs, spares, firmware hygiene, and when to call experts.
Learning outcomes
- Run a repeatable pre-flight and post-session log habit.
- Know when to escalate to vendor support vs local maintenance.
- Connect spare strategy to fleet uptime.
Pre-flight, logs, backups, spares, and support channels.
Write a one-page ops checklist for your lab or home bench.
After a month, review logs for patterns; post one lesson on the Forum.
Self-check
What belongs in every incident note?
Why serial numbers matter?
STEM alignment: maintenance & reliability thinking, documentation, responsible use of equipment.
Operating rhythm
- Pre-flight: joint limits, estop, clear workspace — every session.
- Logging: software version + config hash alongside data — debuggable incidents.
- Mechanical wear: belts, gears, cables — inspect on a calendar, not only when noise appears.
- Thermal & electrical: brownouts often look like “AI bugs.”
- Repairs: Repair & Maintenance when you are out of depth — faster than thrashing.
