This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18911606 titled 'MANAGING POWER CONSUMPTION IN A DOWNHOLE ROBOT
Original Abstract Submitted
In one implementation, a downhole robot includes a housing, electrically-powered equipment configured to perform operations of the downhole robot, a power source disposed inside the housing, the power source coupled by a current flow path to provide electrical current to power to the electrically-powered equipment, and a resettable latch disposed inside the housing. The resettable latch is configured to either interrupt flow of electrical along the current flow path or allow current to flow along the current flow path in response to a signal that wirelessly penetrates the housing.
