Development of Automated Non-Destructive Testing Equipment Incorporating Magnetic Based Technology and Ultrasound Technology Combined with Robotic and Artificial Intelligence for Accelerated Inspection of External Tendons

The main objective of the research is to develop similar technologies for accelerated inspection of external tendons, incorporating several new technologies and inspection methods in an inspection equipment. Specifically, project objectives will include, incorporation of a) MFL technology for identifying section loss and areas with corrosion activities, b) Customized robots for accelerated testing, c) Artificial intelligence for assisting operator to make optimized decision, using algorithms that will be developed based on data to be developed under task 3.
