AI-Enabled Robotic NDE for Structural Damage Assessment and Repair
Materials Evaluation, 2021The aim of this paper is to develop the concept and a prototype of an intelligent mobile robotic platform that is integrated with nondestructive evaluation (NDE) capabilities for autonomous live inspection and repair. In many industrial environments, such as the application of power plant boiler inspection, human inspectors often have to perform ...

A PROBABILISTIC APPROACH TO ROBOTIC NDE INSPECTION
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010The application of wireless robotic inspection vehicles equipped with different NDE payloads has been introduced previously, with emphasis placed on inspection applications in hazardous and inaccessible environments. A particular challenge to the practical application of such robotic inspection lies in the localization of the devices.

Condition assessment of concrete bridge decks using a fully autonomous robotic NDE platform
Bridge Structures, 2013Condition assessment of concrete bridge decks using nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies concentrates on the assessment of corrosion, delamination and concrete quality. Various NDE technologies can be used for this purpose. To expedite the data collection and analysis process, a fully autonomous robotic system was developed that in a ...

2007 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium, 2007
Distributed acoustic emission sensors are used in structural health monitoring (SHM) for the detection of impacts and/or strain, in real time. Secondary damage may result from the initial impact or strain. This damage may include surface pitting, erosion, or cracking.

ROBOTIC INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) OF PIPES
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009The demand for remote inspection of pipework in the processing cells of nuclear plant provides significant challenges of access, navigation, inspection technique and data communication. Such processing cells typically contain several kilometres of densely packed pipework whose actual physical layout may be poorly documented.
