Efficient Autonomous Path Planning for Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing: A Graph Theory and K-Dimensional Tree Optimisation Approach

open access: yesMachines, 2023
Within the domain of robotic non-destructive testing (NDT) of complex structures, the existing methods typically utilise an offline robot-path-planning strategy. Commonly, for robotic inspection, this will involve full coverage of the component.

An Improved Robot for Bridge Inspection [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), 2017
This paper presents a significant improvement from the previous submission from the same authors at ISARC 2016. The robot is now equipped with low-cost cameras and a 2D laser scanner which is used to monitor and survey a bridge bearing. The robot is capable of localising by combining a data from a pre-surveyed 3D model of the space with real-time data ...
