Original Abstract Submitted
A method for constructing docking stations for downhole robots is disclosed. The method includes determining locations and respective dimensions along a sidewall of a wellbore for drilling tunnels, constructing, based on the locations and respective dimensions, the tunnels extending from the sidewall of the wellbore, installing a downhole robot docking station in a first where the downhole robot docking station is disposed external to the wellbore, installing a power source in a second tunnel where the power source is disposed external to the wellbore, and connecting the downhole robot docking station and the power source via an electrical connection disposed along at least the sidewall of the wellbore.
