A factory-floor robot tasked with filling peanut butter jars is on the fritz. The manufacturer dispatches a technician by plane to figure out what’s wrong. But until she is on hand to identify the problem and prescribe a fix, the peanut butter idles on the assembly line, delayed on its way to market. What if that same technician could diagnose and repair the robot without ever leaving her office? And what if, a week earlier, the robot had let the technician know that it needed maintenance?
