Robot Development for Confined Space Maintenance
- Development of modular robot components that optimize reachability in individual use cases
- Algorithms that allow safe & precise motions in challenging environments
- Operation in different modes like teleoperation, automation and autonomy
Robotic Inspection and Repair Processes
- Accurate localization and registration of sensor measurements at places that are difficult to reach for humans
- Integration of task planning for automated inspection and repair sequences
- Process transparency through continuous monitoring of the robot’s state and sensor data
Automated Acquisition and Processing of NDT Data
- Gathering of reliable and high-quality data to allow non-destructive testing (NDT) diagnosis
- Visualization of live data to operators in intuitive and comprehensible formats to facilitate effective teleoperation
- Data exchange with digital twins including the location of defects in standard and open data formats
