Assessment of ship robotic inspections
2020 25th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2020Ship surveys are hazardous and expensive tasks as long as they are carried out by human surveyors to a large extent. The adoption of robotic means can enhance safety by replacing some human operations, filling the gap between the current approach and available robotic technologies, even from a regulatory point of view.The ROBINS project (ROBotics ...

Internal pipe inspection robot
Proceedings of 1995 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002This paper describes a new mechanism, communication system, and vision system of an internal pipe inspection robot. To date, inspection robots have had such limitations as their ability to turn in a T-shaped pipe or move in a plug valve. The new mechanism based on our dual magnetic wheels, resembling a crawler, not only overcomes the limitation but ...

Watchman Routes for Robot Inspection
2019Inspection is a hot topic of robotics recently, and there are many different ways to solve the inspection problem. In this paper, we propose a new framework for a robust and efficient inspection of the entire workspace in a watchman route based on automatically generated waypoints.

Industrial quality control often includes the inspection of parts of complex geometry. While such an inspection can be quite easily done by humans, it poses certain challenges if the task is to be automated. Quite often, robots are used for handling the part to acquire a large number of images, each showing a certain area of the surface. The process of
