Autonomous Robotic System using Non-Destructive Evaluation methods for Bridge Deck Inspection

open access: yes, 2017
Bridge condition assessment is important to maintain the quality of highway roads for public transport. Bridge deterioration with time is inevitable due to aging material, environmental wear and in some cases, inadequate maintenance.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Pavement crack detection based on depth-supervision FRRN model

open access: yesMeasurement + Control
Timely detection of early pavement distress is crucial for effective pavement maintenance. A promising approach involves the segmenting the road surface cracks area from its images. However, the previously employed full-resolution residual network (FRRN),

Tiled fuzzy Hough transform for crack detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Surface cracks can be the bellwether of the failure of any component under loading as it indicates the component's fracture due to stresses and usage. For this reason, crack detection is indispensable for the condition monitoring and quality control
