dc.description.abstract | There is a strong demand in the oil and gas industry to develop alternatives to manual
inspection. This paper presents AeroX, a novel aerial robotic manipulator that provides physical
contact inspection with unprecedented capabilities. AeroX has a semi-autonomous operation,
which provides interesting advantages in contact inspection. In the free-flight mode, the pilot guides
the robot until performing contact with its end-effector on the surface to be inspected. During contact,
AeroX is in its fully-autonomous global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-free contact–flight mode,
in which the robot keeps its relative position w.r.t. the surface contact point using only its internal
sensors. During autonomous flight, the inspector can move—with uninterrupted contact—the
end-effector on the surface for accurately selecting the points where to perform A-scan measurements
or continuous B-scan or C-scan inspections. AeroX adopts an eight-tilted rotor configuration and
a simple and efficient design, which provides high stability, maneuverability, and robustness to
rotor failure. It can perform contact inspection on surfaces at any orientation, including vertical,
inclined, horizontal-top or horizontal-bottom, and its operation can be easily integrated into current
maintenance operations in many industries. It has been extensively validated in outdoor experiments
including a refinery and has been awarded the EU Innovation Radar Prize 2017. | es |
