Anti-Swinging Input Shaping Control of an Automatic Construction Crane

TL;DR: The implemented algorithms solve two main problems of module assembly: precision positioning of large and heavy modules in the order of a few centimeters, and anti-swinging transportation of modules, even in difficult weather conditions (not extreme).
Journal ArticleDOI

A climbing autonomous robot for inspection applications in 3D complex environments

TL;DR: This paper deals with the autonomous climbing robot which uses the “caterpillar” concept to climb in complex 3D metallic-based structures to ensure stable self-support and to optimise the robot consumption during the inspection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Past, present and future of robotic tunnel inspection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the key aspects of tunnel inspection and a survey of the developed robotic tunnel inspection systems up to date and two projects regarding automation of the processes involved and future trends will be discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tunnel structural inspection and assessment using an autonomous robotic system

TL;DR: The ROBO-SPECT European FP7 project, funded under the ICT-2013.2 programme on Robotics use cases & Accompanying measures, is presented, a robotized alternative to manual tunnel structural inspection and assessment of cracks and other defects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climbing Robots’ Mobility for Inspection and Maintenance of 3D Complex Environments

TL;DR: The main features of non-conventional climbing robots’ mobility on complex 3D environments are presented: power supply, number of DOFs, lightweight structure, gait, speed, secure grasp, etc.
