"Autonomous Inspection System"

Monday 26 April

The objective of this project is to build an autonomous inspection system using 3D imaging and laser scanning systems to detect changes to the surface features of vehicles (e.g. spacecraft, aircraft), structures, and other mission-critical systems to identify recent changes and potential damage.
Phase I of our innovation is to automate the recognition of physical attribute changes of an object from a live acquisition scan against a baseline 3D model of the same object. This system consists of imaging and scanning equipment, processors, and communications equipment to capture surroundings in 3D.
Phase II is to integrate this system with an autonomous robotic platform, using appropriate current and planned future technologies as a function of the operation environment (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with hover capability and/or Unmanned Ground Vehicles for terrestrial applications, an autonomous untethered spacecraft for orbital/deep space applications).
