    Abstract: A traction module for a robot system and a robot system using the traction module having, an outer frame and a rotating frame rotatably mounted within the outer frame. A drive system is operatively coupled to the rotating frame and configured to drive a traction drive component to propel the robot. An actuator is operatively connected to the rotating frame to controllably rotate the rotating frame. During a first portion of a rotating movement of the rotating frame, the drive system moves between a flat mode position relative to the outer frame and a clearance mode position in which the drive system extends outwardly from the outer frame to a greater extent than in the first position. During a second portion of the rotating movement of the rotating frame, the drive system may be positioned in a desired orientation to propel the robot.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to locate the position of cooling holes on an outer surface of a turbine engine component, based on a three-dimensional measurement along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, and an extracted two-dimensional measurement along the X-axis and the Y-axis. The two-dimensional data is analyzed to find a common geometric feature of the component and determine a scan area based on the common geometric feature. The component is measured within the scan area to locate a cooling hole located on the outer surface of the component. A surface profile of the cooling hole is extracted along the X-axis and the Y-axis, and an orientation of the cooling hole is extracted along the Z-axis. A three-dimensional coordinate set of the cooling hole is calculated based on the surface profile and the orientation.
