摘要： A robotic inspection system for broadcast tower support cables includes a self-propelled sensing device configured to move along a broadcast tower support cable for taking main magnetic flux (MMF) readings as the sensing device moves along the support cable. The system also includes a control station configured to wirelessly interface with the sensing device and to generate a broadcast tower support cable condition assessment report from the MMF readings to identify locations and sizes of deterioration of the broadcast tower support cable. The sensing devices includes a sensing array that is insulated from the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the broadcast tower.

摘要： A robotic inspection system for corrosion detection within external post-tension bridge tendons includes a sensing device. The sensing device is configured to move along a bridge tendon to detect magnetic flux leakage of the bridge tendon as the sensing device moves along the bridge tendon. In addition, the system includes a location device coupled to the sensing device, where the location device is configured to determine the location of the sensing device on the bridge tendon. The system also includes a control station configured to wirelessly interface with the sensing device and the location instrument. The control station is also configured to generate a bridge tendon condition assessment report from the detection of magnetic flux leakage to identify locations and sizes of discontinuities of the bridge tendon.

摘要： A robotic inspection system for structural columns includes a command center, and a winch structure having support legs, a pulley, a winch, and cable passing over the pulley, where the winch structure is configured to record a length of the cable payed out over the pulley. A robotic device is coupled to the cable. The robotic device includes a main body configured to be lowered down inside a structural column, and a plurality of arms are connected to, and extending away from the main body. In addition, the robotic device includes a plurality of rotors where a rotor is coupled to a distal end of each of the arms and each rotor is configured to be remotely controlled to rotate in a desired direction. A high definition camera and a plurality of orientation cameras are mounted to the main body, where the high definition camera is configured to be controlled independently. A digital transmitter is configured to transmit a multiplexed output to the command center.

摘要： A system to assess bridge deck conditions includes a sensing device configured to generate cross sectional sensing data of a bridge deck, and a positioning device configured to determine a geographic position of the sensor device relative to the bridge deck. The system also includes a memory coupled to the sensing device and the positioning device, where the memory is configured to store the sensing data and the geographic positioning data. In addition, a processor is coupled to the memory, where the processor is configured to generate imagery of the sensing data for display, detect at least one area of interest from the imagery that exceeds a threshold value, and generate a plan of action to repair the at least one area of interest from the imagery that exceeds a threshold value.
