InternBot: Robotics and Digital Platform for Next-Generation Workflows 1: National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Romania; 2: Department of Applied Mathematics; 3: Faculty of Electrical Engineering; 4: Center for Research and Training in Innovative Techniques of Applied Mathematics in Engineering, National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest, Romania In the last decade, the use of automation in the workplace has experienced an exponential rise, enabled by technological improvements, which improve accessibility and enhance adaptability. This shift towards automated workspaces has been made possible by advancements regarding organizational solutions that, simultaneously, facilitate integration into corporate spaces. The main objective of this project is to improve the performance of organizations, by implementing an internal platform that manages document transfers, both in physical and digital format, maintains the stock of supplies and provides alerts for their unavailability. In order for the application to be efficient and sustainable over an extended period of time, factors such as cost, long-term impact and compatibility with existing processes and practices are carefully analyzed. A series of algorithms was used, that manages essential functions, such as robot navigation (A*), task customization (Decision Tree) and predictive maintenance (ARIMA). Following the identification of existing deficiencies, an integrated system (InternBot) can be provided as a solution. The InternBot structure has two versions. The exclusively digital version, Digital-InternBot (D-IB), with a reduced cost, offers functionalities such as: personalized task management, priority-based scheduling, anticipation of consumable needs with alerts and automatic orders. The second version, Social-InternBot (S-IB), has a robotic component that takes over time-consuming and repetitive physical tasks, in addition to the digital part. The results from implementing this complex system, with dual functionality, digital and physical, consist of quick access to information, reduced workload for staff and optimised document flow. Although the system is designed to be efficient, errors such as incorrect document location, confusion between files with similar names or data synchronization problems may occur. These situations are anticipated and will be managed through continuous monitoring and immediate intervention by monitoring staff, thus ensuring the correct and continuous functioning of the proposed smart platform. | |
