Multirobot inspection of industrial machinery

摘要: Inspection of aircraft and power generation machinery using a swarm miniature robots is promising application both from an intellectual commercial perspective. Our research motivated by case study concerned with the inspection jet turbine engine robots. This article summarizes our efforts that include multirobot path planning, modeling self-organized robotic systems, implementation proof-of-concept experiments real Although other tackles challenges arise moving within three-dimensional (3-D) structured environments at level individual node, emphasis work on explicitly incorporating potential limitations platform in terms sensor actuator noise into design process collaborative systems. We highlight difficulties further (lengthy) toward truly autonomous parallel complex engineered structures.
