Description du projet/ Project Description
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the reliability and repeatability of an automated non-destructive testing (NDT) system combining different probes. Information that could not be inferred separately from them is expected. A prototype will be built to evaluate the potential of this method.
 
Objectifs/ Objectives
1) to design a proof-of-concept for a robotic in-situ integrated NDT system;
2) to develop an end-effector combining several NDT probes to be mounted on a standard robot;
3) to design data fusion algorithms and data processing techniques to integrate the signals from all sensors and optimize the quality of the extracted data;
4) to develop a smart controller for the robot using the signals from the various NDT sensors and optimizing path planning;
5) to develop an expert system overseeing the entire NDT process and determine if multi-pass is required to ensure reliability and thorough inspection results.
