Can we build a robotic oil change system?

The other day I was talking to an acquaintance. He is working on his Degree in Engineering Management, among other things. After briefly talking to him about the mobile oil change business, it occurred to me that maybe someone needs to create an Oil Change Robot system to change oil in car fleets like car rental, truck fleets, lots of GSA and US cars Military vehicles to save money on training, logistics and mechanical costs for the Army, Navy, Navy and Air Force. Okay, let’s talk, I mean, is this possible?

Sure yes, in fact, an oil company has already designed a robotic refueling system, so you can get close to the pump and the system opens the little door, unscrews the gas cap, lines up your arm, puts the nozzle and then pumps. When you’re done, remove the nozzle, screw the gas cap back on, and gently close the door, and you’re done. Today, you would just hold your iPhone and move it over the payment system, and you will be paid, charged, and basically ready to go, right? Sure why not.

In fact, our group of experts was discussing this the other day, as such a system could be used to refuel robotic drones, meaning that no people would be needed for the flight line in some foreign country to refuel or tie down the robotic systems of The aircraft. would do all the work. Too exaggerated, you say, nonsense, even Google has an autonomous robotic car now. Yes, he had an accident, but guess what? It was the fault of the other cars, the one a human was driving!

You may think this is silly for a mobile oil change rig, but I think it is beautiful and having been in the car wash business I can tell you that it is mainly robotic using robotic sensors like sonar, electronic eyes, sensors. optical flow and infrared systems in some cases. In the case of a fleet of vehicles, it is simple, all the vehicles are unlocked and everything is in the same place, the oil change robot can just drive and do the vehicles without human labor, no more cost worries from health care, pensions, workers’ compensation, training, scheduling, human resources, workplace injuries, strikes, or a shortage of skilled technicians, see?

The original systems can be expensive at first, but the number of companies, agencies, armies and fleet owners that would buy them could generate significant advantages in the economies of scale to mass produce these systems. So why don’t I ask? Consider all of this.
