How Robotic Navigation Can Assist Inspection in GPS-Denied Environments

Found in News and Content

…in order to navigate. Instead, ultrasonic and localization technologies are emerging for navigation to pin-point damage mechanisms, as well as provide reproducible data. These deliverables can help predict the future safety of the sites being inspected. Challenges inside GPS-denied environments The main reason for sending mobile robots for inspection, maintenance, and repair is to avoid putting employees in dangerous situations.…

…levels of precision by applying ultrasonic vibrations to the nozzle to reduce friction and allow for smooth materials flow. It also allows for more precise flow control. “It's like the Play-Doh press of the 21st century,” Rhoads said. “We have shown that we can print these energetic materials without voids, which is key,” Rhoads said. “Voids are bad in energetic…


Researchers Train Self-Driving on Virtual Roads

…such as radar, laser/lidar, camera, ultrasonic, DSRC [dedicated short-range communications] and GPS.” Software such as Simcenter Prescan allows automakers to train their artificial intelligence programs to make the right decision not only in routine events but also in uncommon but imminent events. For example, how would the autonomous pilot react to an elephant crossing the road, or a group of…


Gold Nanoparticles Shine Light on 3D-Printing Defects

…parts and materials. These include ultrasonic inspection, impedance-based monitoring, and thermography supported by image correlation. Although these methodologies provide insight into the quality of the printed object—offering their own set of advantages and disadvantages—no one approach has achieved dominance within the 3D printing sector. The continued advancement and development of new technologies that can help enable inspection and quality control…
